Aluminum coil calculation formula

The weight of aluminum coil can be calculated by the following two methods:

Method 1: Direct calculation method

Measure the width, length and thickness of aluminum coils in inches or millimeters.

Calculate weight using the following formula:

Weight (lbs) = Width (inches) × Length (inches) × Thickness (inches) × 0.098

Or weight (kg) = width (mm) × length (mm) × thickness (mm) × 0.0000027.

Method 2: Density calculation method

Find the density of the aluminum coil, usually 2.702g/cm³ (pure aluminum ) or 2.68g/cm³ (alloy aluminum ).

Measure the length, width and thickness of the aluminum coil and calculate the volume in cubic centimeters or cubic meters.

Calculate the weight of aluminum coil using the following formula:

Weight (grams) = Volume (cubic centimeters) × Density (grams/cubic centimeters)

Or weight (kg) = volume (cubic meter) × density (kg/cubic meter).

In addition, if you need to calculate the length of the aluminum coil, you can calculate it based on the known weight and the other three dimensions:

Length (m) = Weight (kg) / (Width (m) × Thickness (mm) × Density (kg/m³)).

It should be noted that the units should be unified when calculating, such as using millimeters or inches as measurement units, and attention should be paid to the unit conversion of density. The density of aluminum coils is usually taken as 2.7g/cm³ or 2.702g/cm³. The specific value may be slightly different depending on the specific type of aluminum (such as pure aluminum or alloy aluminum).
