Specification parameters of 4×8 aluminum sheet

How many pieces 4′ x 8′ aluminum sheet per ton?

If you want to know how many pieces 4′ x 8′ aluminum sheet per ton, you must know the weight of each aluminum sheet.

Calculation method:

Weight = Volume x Density = Length x Width x Thickness x Density

Then, let’s take 1/8″ 4 x 8 aluminum sheet as an example to calculate the weight of a single aluminum sheet;

The density of pure aluminum is 2.7g/cm³ （2700kg/m³）

Unit conversion:

Width: 4 foot = 1219mm = 121.9cm

Lengh: 8 foot = 2438mm = 243.8cm

Thickness: 1/8″ = 3.18 mm = 0.318cm

The weight of one piece 1/8″ 4 x 8 aluminum sheet is:

121.9cm * 243.8cm * 0.318cm * 2.7g/cm³ = 25516.9223g ≈ 25517g = 25.517kg

The pieces of 1/8″ 4 x 8 aluminum sheet per ton is:

1000kg / 25.517kg = 39.189 pieces ≈ 39 pieces

So there are about 39 pieces per ton of 1/8″ 4 x 8 aluminum sheet;

How many pieces 4′ x 8′ steel sheet per ton?

We all know that steel plate is heavier than aluminum plate, so how much heavier 4×8 steel plate is than 4×8 aluminum plate of the same thickness?

The density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm³, the density of steel is 7.85g/cm³, and the density of steel is 2.91 times that of aluminum;

Then it can be calculated that there are about 39 / 2.91 ≈ 13 pieces of 1/8 inch 4×8 steel plate per ton.

Weight comparison of 4*8 aluminum plate, copper plate, steel plate and stainless steel plate

It is well known that among all common metals (aluminum,steel plate,stainless steel,copper), aluminum has the smallest density;

Therefore, among the metals of the same volume, the weight of aluminum is also the lightest;

The density of AL: 2.7g/cm³

The density of steel plate: 7.8g/cm³

The density of stainless steel: 7.70-8.00g/cm³

The density of copper: 8.960g/cm³
