Material Analysis
Aluminum properties
Volume
Total volume: 1000.0 cm³. Aluminum is lightweight, about 1/3 the weight of steel.
Cost Estimate
Scrap aluminum is worth ~$0.50-$0.80/lb. New material cost varies widely but expect $3-$8/lb depending on form and alloy.
Handling
At 2.700 kg, this piece is manageable for one person.
How to Use
Step-by-step instructions
- 1Select the shape of the aluminum (Sheet, Round Bar, Square Bar, Tube).
- 2Enter the dimensions in millimeters (mm).
- 3Enter the quantity.
- 4The calculator will estimate the total weight.
Weight Formula
Density of Aluminum ≈ 2.7 g/cm³. The volume depends on the shape (sheet, rod, tube, etc.).

Inputs:
Shape:Sheet
Length:1000 mm
Width:500 mm
Thickness:2 mm
Steps:
- 1.Volume = 1000 × 500 × 2 = 1,000,000 mm³
- 2.Weight = 1,000,000 × 0.0027 g/mm³ = 2700 g
- 3.Weight = 2.7 kg
Result:
2.7 kg
