MS Plate Weight Chart & Thickness Calculator (5mm to 100mm)

Standard civil and mechanical engineering reference for mild steel plate weight per square metre (5mm to 100mm), standard sheet weights, theoretical density formula (7.85 kg/m²/mm), and commercial tolerances. Wholesale supply of prime (SAIL, JSW, JSPL) and boiler quality MS plates across Punjab from Jalandhar and Mandi Gobindgarh yards.

Engineering Calculation Formula

Formula for Mild Steel Plate Weight Calculation

The exact theoretical weight of mild steel plate is calculated using the standard density of carbon steel (7.85 g/cm³ or 7850 kg/m³):
Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (mm) × 7.85.

Weight per Square Metre (1m × 1m): Weight = Thickness (mm) × 7.85 kg/m². A 10mm plate weighs 78.50 kg per sq. metre. A 12mm plate weighs 94.20 kg per sq. metre.
Standard Commercial Sheet Sizes in Punjab: Available in 1250 × 2500 mm (approx. 4 × 8 ft), 1500 × 6000 mm (approx. 5 × 20 ft), and 2000 × 8000 mm. Custom profile cut parts provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — MS Plate Weight & Specifications

What is the formula to calculate mild steel plate weight?

The standard engineering formula is: Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (mm) × 7.85. For example, a 10mm thick plate measuring 2.5m × 1.25m weighs 2.5 × 1.25 × 10 × 7.85 = 245.31 kg.

What is the weight per square metre of 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm MS plates?

Based on standard 7.85 kg/m²/mm density: 6mm = 47.10 kg/m²; 8mm = 62.80 kg/m²; 10mm = 78.50 kg/m²; 12mm = 94.20 kg/m²; 16mm = 125.60 kg/m²; and 20mm = 157.00 kg/m².

What standard commercial sheet sizes of MS plates are available in Punjab?

Standard commercial plate dimensions in Punjab yards include 1250 × 2500 mm (approx. 4 × 8 ft), 1500 × 6000 mm (approx. 5 × 20 ft), and 2000 × 8000 mm. Custom cut sizes, CNC plasma-cut profile blanks, and circles are also supplied.

What is the difference between IS 2062 E250 and E350 grade plates?

E250 is the standard structural grade with minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, used for general fabrication, base plates, and tanks. E350 is high-tensile structural steel with minimum yield strength of 350 MPa, specified for heavy earthmoving machinery, combine harvesters, and high-load bridge structures.

What are common industrial applications of MS plates in Jalandhar and Ludhiana?

MS plates are consumed heavily across Punjab for agricultural implements (combine harvester frames, rotavator blades, seed drills), commercial vehicle trailers, road construction equipment, boiler shells, and press machine fabrication.
