Calculating the weight of any type of metal product profiles of various types, bars, tubes, pipes, sheets, etc. is similar to that of any other type of material. We need to know the volume of the metal (cu in, cu mm, cu cm, etc.) and its density (usually in g/cm³, oz/in³). Multiplying the two gives us the resulting metal weight.

In the metal weight calculator below we have pre-entered the densities of many commonly used metals like carbon steel, stainless steel, iron, copper, nickel, aluminum, as well as metal alloys such as bronze, aluminum and nickel alloys: Nickel 200, Monel 400, Inconel 600, Inconel 625, Inconel 718, Inconel X-750, Incoloy 800. Selecting a material from the list will automatically fill in its density in the “density” field. However, you can always enter a custom density, if it is known to you and the calculator will use that instead. A common mistake is to confuse “steel” with “metal”. The two are not synonyms! In fact, steel is not technically a metal, but a metal alloy, since it is made from a mixture of iron, carbon, and other elements in very small quantities.

The calculator has a set of different types of products to choose from, and each would require a different set of measurements to be entered, in order to calculate its volume.
