Metal Weight Calculator

Choose a common stock profile or enter a custom density, then calculate estimated mass without creating an account. The calculation keeps geometry, unit conversion, and density visible so the result can be checked.

Ready to calculate

Enter the dimensions, then calculate to see a checkable result.

Estimate only:Verify critical dimensions, density, load limits, and purchased weight with the drawing, supplier, and a qualified professional.

02 / Method & limits

Make the calculation checkable.

How the estimate is calculated

Mass = cross-sectional area × length × material density × quantity. Hollow profiles subtract the inner area from the outer area before volume is calculated.

Worked example

A 1 m long steel bar uses its selected cross-section to determine volume; that volume is multiplied by the selected density and quantity. The calculator shows both the per-piece and total estimate.

Assumptions and limits

  • Profiles are idealized and do not include corner radii, mill tolerances, taper, coatings, or removed material unless the selected shape explicitly models them.
  • Density varies by alloy, heat treatment, temperature, and supplier; use a certified material value when purchasing or lifting decisions depend on the result.
  • This is a mass estimate, not a certified shipping, structural, or lifting calculation.
