How to use
Enter every dimension of one piece in mm. Start with kilograms, total metres or a whole piece count to find the other equivalents.
- Choose the shape, stainless grade and dimensions of one piece. Adjust density if needed.
- Select the starting unit and enter an amount. Piece input must be a nonnegative whole number; kg and metres may be fractional.
- Results update automatically as you change values. Compare approximate total weight, length and equivalent pieces.
Example calculation
A 1000 × 2000 × 2 mm sheet at 7900 kg/m³ weighs 31.6 kg. Twenty sheets equal 632 kg and 40 metres. For the same sheet, 100 kg equals approximately 3.16456 pieces and 6.32911 metres.
Calculation method
Unit weight = geometric volume × density. Equivalent pieces = total kg / unit kg, or total metres / piece length (m). Total kg = equivalent pieces × unit kg; total metres = equivalent pieces × piece length (m).
Calculation limits
The calculation uses ideal geometry and does not account for corner radii, manufacturing tolerances or weld seams. Use the supplier’s actual weight per piece for final purchasing calculations.
Fractional pieces are a mathematical equivalent, not a purchasable count of complete pieces. Metres use the entered piece length; sheet width stays fixed. Discs and rings have no metre conversion.
