VERCHO · Engineering tools · Weight
Weight of sheets, plates, bars, pipes, rolled sections and custom shapes in steel, stainless, aluminium, copper and 40+ other materials — per piece, per metre and in total, with a weight list you can export for your BOQ.
About this calculator
At VERCHO Engineering Solutions, our objective is not limited to supplying electrical and mechanical products. We also aim to provide practical engineering resources that can be useful to engineers, consultants, contractors, estimators, fabricators and purchase teams.
Almost every early decision on a project depends on weight. Material cost is quoted per kilogram, freight and handling are planned by the tonne, cranes and lifting gear are chosen by load, and a structure or support has to carry the weight of the equipment, pipes and fluid on it. A small error in a weight estimate carries straight through to the BOQ, the purchase order and the site.
Our Metal Weight Calculation Tool works out weight = volume × density for the shapes engineers use every day, and lets you build a complete weight list for a quick material take-off.
Weight is at the heart of what VERCHO makes and supplies. Our electrical enclosures and panels are built from CRCA, galvanised and stainless steel sheet — and the sheet metal fabrication behind them is estimated sheet by sheet and gauge by gauge. The same applies to the base frames, mounting plates, gland plates and channels that go with them.
Our growing range of MS & SS pipes, pipe fittings and flanges is bought, stocked and transported by weight per metre, and the structures that support them use ISMB beams, ISMC channels and angles. Fasteners, nut bolts and washers are sold by weight too. Knowing the weight of each item helps us quote accurately, plan dispatch and recommend the right material and thickness for the job — not just the cheapest one.
Typical uses include estimating the steel in an enclosure or panel, preparing a BOQ or material take-off for a pipe rack or platform, checking the weight per metre of a pipe before designing its supports, comparing mild steel with stainless steel or aluminium for the same part, and planning freight, handling and lifting for fabricated assemblies.
VERCHO is not only a supplier of industrial products; we aim to support engineers and project teams with practical engineering resources. This Weight Calculator is provided as a convenient tool for preliminary weight and material estimates, alongside our pump head, pipe size and bolt torque calculators.
Weights are calculated from nominal dimensions and densities. Rolling tolerances, corner radii, coatings and weld metal are not included, and ISMB / ISMC values are IS 808 nominal masses. The calculator is intended as a preliminary engineering reference and should not be considered a substitute for detailed design, mill certificates, manufacturer data or project-specific engineering calculations.
At VERCHO, we believe that product knowledge and engineering understanding should go together. We aim to continue developing useful technical resources alongside our growing range of electrical and mechanical products.
VERCHO — BUILT BEYOND.
