Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in weight between 304 and 316 stainless steel plates?

The weight difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel plates primarily arises due to their slight differences in chemical composition. 316 contains a higher percentage of nickel and molybdenum compared to 304, making it slightly heavier. However, the weight difference is minimal and generally not significant for practical purposes.

How can I calculate the weight of a stainless steel plate per square foot?

You can calculate the weight of a stainless steel plate per square foot by using the following formula:

Weight = Thickness x Area x Density

where thickness is in inches, area is in square feet, and density is in pounds per cubic inch. The density of stainless steel varies but typically ranges between 0.28 and 0.29 lbs/in³ for both 304 and 316 grades.

What is the weight per square meter of a 304 or 316 stainless steel plate?

To find the weight per square meter of a 304 or 316 stainless steel plate, use the following formula:

Weight = Thickness x Area x Density

where thickness is in millimeters, area is in square meters, and density is in kilograms per cubic meter. The density of stainless steel is generally around 7,800 kg/m³ for both 304 and 316 grades.

What factors affect the weight of a 1/4-inch stainless steel plate?

The weight of a 1/4-inch stainless steel plate is mainly influenced by:

  1. Type of stainless steel (304, 316, or another grade)
  2. Overall dimensions of the plate (length and width)
  3. Density of the stainless steel (varying slightly between grades)

How can I estimate the weight of a SS 316 plate using a calculator?

To estimate the weight of a SS 316 plate using a calculator, you can follow these steps:

  1. Input the thickness of the plate in inches or millimeters, depending on your preference
  2. Enter the dimensions (length and width) of the plate in your preferred units
  3. Input the density of SS 316 (approximately 0.29 lbs/in³ or 7,800 kg/m³)
  4. Apply the weight formula: Weight = Thickness x Area x Density

What is the weight of a 304 stainless steel plate per square foot?

The weight of a 304 stainless steel plate per square foot can be calculated using the same formula mentioned previously:

Weight = Thickness x Area x Density

Given that the density of 304 stainless steel is approximately 0.28 lbs/in³, you can apply the formula with the known thickness of the plate and the area in square feet to find the weight per square foot.
