How can I calculate the weight of an aluminum profile

How can I calculate the weight of an aluminum profile?

There are 2 simple and fast methods for calculating the weight of aluminum profile.

As long as you have aluminum profile samples or you know the density, length, width, thickness or density, diameter and length of aluminum profile,

you can calculate the weight of the aluminum profile easily.

The first:

Calculating the weight of aluminum profile when you have an aluminum profile sample

The easiest way is to use a digital scale to weigh the aluminum profiles.

The second:

Calculating the weight of aluminum profile when you have the drawing or design

The most convenient way of doing it is to have the blueprint in .dwg format (Autocad) on a natural scale (1:1).

With this software, you can easily obtain the section or area of the drawn geometry, and then you should multiply it by 2.7 (the specific gravity of aluminum).

The resulting figure will be equivalent to the weight in grams per meter of the profile.

The general aluminum profile weight calculation formula is as follows:

Aluminum flat bar weight calculation formula (kg)=0.00271×thickness×width×length

Aluminum tube weight calculation formula (kg)=0.00879×wall thickness×(outer diameter-wall thickness)×length

Aluminum plate weight calculation formula (kg)=0.00271×thickness×width×length

Aluminum rod weight calculation formula (kg)=0.0022×diameter×diameter×length
