73.59 Kg
~0.074 Metric Tons₹4,784
@ ₹65/Kg• Sheet Weight = (2500 × 1250 × 3 × 7.85) ÷ 1,000,000 = 73.59 kg
• Batch Total: 73.59 kg × 1 pcs = 73.59 kg
• Metal Cost: 73.59 kg × ₹65/kg = ₹4,784

Formulas used by Indian structural engineers, CNC laser cutting workshops, and steel stockists.
Sheet / Plate Formula
Weight (Kg) = (L × W × T × Density) ÷ 10⁶
Where Length (L), Width (W), and Thickness (T) are in mm, and Density is in g/cm³ (7.85 for MS).
Round Pipe Formula
Weight = (OD - WT) × WT × 0.02466 × Length
Accounts for circular cross-sectional wall thickness (WT) and length in meters.
Laser Cutting Estimation
Cost = Perimeter (Meters) × Rate/Meter
Calculates total machine run time and gas consumption based on cutting length.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on steel grades, density calculations, and fabrication pricing.
Why is MS plate weight slightly different from actual weighing scale results?
Theoretical weight uses standard 7.85 g/cm³ density and exact nominal thickness. Actual rolling mills have manufacturing thickness tolerances (typically ±0.2mm to ±0.5mm depending on IS 2062 standard), which may cause minor weight variations on the weighbridge.
How does EnquiryBazaar help steel fabricators and machine shops?
Most metal fabrication workshops survive on low-margin local job-work where traders squeeze prices. EnquiryBazaar sets up direct Google Search dominance and an authoritative industrial engineering showcase website that connects you directly with project directors, civil engineers, and OEM purchase heads.
