Channel Weight Calculator

Estimate stainless steel channel weight from section dimensions, length, density and quantity.

Channel Weight Calculator

Enter channel height, width, thickness, length, density and quantity.

FormulaWeight (kg) = t × (H + 2W − 2t) × length × density × quantity ÷ 1,000,000.

Enter values and keep the result with the quotation assumptions.

Calculation result

Enter values and calculate.

The estimate uses an approximate channel cross-section and supplied density. Confirm the section standard and actual scale weight.

Technical reference

Channel Weight Calculator basis and limits

This calculator provides a planning estimate for channel weight calculator using the stated dimensions, material assumptions and operating inputs.

Confirm grade, applicable standard, tolerance, product condition and supplier documentation before making a final engineering or purchasing decision.

Important Use the result for quotation preparation and early planning; it does not replace a certified measurement, drawing review or supplier confirmation.

Calculation method

Formula and worked example

01

Channel Weight Calculator formula

Use the inputs and units shown in the calculator, then review the assumptions before using the estimate.

Weight (kg) = t × (H + 2W − 2t) × length × density × quantity ÷ 1,000,000.
02

Worked example

A 100 × 50 × 5 mm channel at 1,000 mm length and 7.93 g/cm³ is approximately 7.534 kg before packing.

5 × (100 + 2×50 − 10) × 1,000 × 7.93 ÷ 1,000,000 ≈ 7.934 kg
