MS plate weight calculator and weight chart in kg.
MS plate weight (kg) = length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm) × 7.85. A 10 mm MS plate weighs 78.5 kg/m², so a 1250 × 2500 mm sheet weighs 245.3 kg. Enter your size below, or read the chart further down.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate MS plate weight? (formula)
Weight (kg) = length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm) × 7.85. Mild steel density is 7.85 g/cm³, so every 1 mm of thickness weighs 7.85 kg per square metre.
What is the weight of a 10 mm MS plate?
78.5 kg per square metre, 7.29 kg per square foot, and 245.3 kg for a 1250 × 2500 mm sheet.
What is the weight of an MS plate per square foot?
Multiply the thickness in mm by 0.7293. For example, a 6 mm plate weighs 4.38 kg per sq ft.
Is chequered plate heavier than plain plate?
Yes. The raised pattern adds weight, so use the producer's published chequered-plate weights for billing.
What is the weight of an 8 mm MS plate per square metre?
At the estimating density of 7.85 g/cm³, an 8 mm MS plate weighs 62.8 kg/m². A 1250 × 2500 mm plate is about 196.25 kg. Actual thickness and dimensional tolerances affect delivered mass.
