Theoretical weight of steel plate

Theoretical weight of steel plate refers to the weight calculated based on the nominal dimensions and density (unit:g/cm³ or kg/m³) of stainless (acid-resistant) steel. This calculated weight is called the theoretical weight. It is directly related to the length, cross-sectional area, and dimensional tolerances of the stainless steel material. Due to the allowable deviations in the manufacturing process of steel plates, there is a certain discrepancy between the theoretical weight calculated using the formula and the actual weight. Therefore, it can only be used as a reference for estimation.

The actual weight of a steel plate refers to the weight obtained by physically weighing the steel plate, hence it is called the actual weight. For processed steel plates, the width=100% of thin plates ranges from 500 to 1500 mm, while the width=100% of thick plates ranges from 600 to 3000 mm. Thin plates can be classified by steel type, including ordinary steel, high-quality steel, alloy steel, spring steel, stainless steel, tool steel, heat-resistant steel, bearing steel, silicon steel, and industrial pure iron thin plates, among others. The accuracy of the actual weight is higher than that of the theoretical weight.

Regarding weight ton, it is a unit of weight used when calculating freight charges based on the gross weight of steel plates. Steel plates in the building materials market can be classified by professional use, such as oil drum plates, enamel plates, bulletproof plates, etc.; and by surface coating, such as galvanized thin plates, tin-plated thin plates, lead-plated thin plates, plastic-coated steel plates, etc. The legal unit of measurement is the metric ton, though long tons and short tons are also used.http://www.hnftsteels.com

Next is the chargeable weight, also known as the freight ton or revenue ton. It is usually the weight of steel plates referenced by transportation departments when calculating freight charges. Steel plates in the building materials market can be classified by professional use, such as oil drum plates, enamel plates, bulletproof plates, etc.; and by surface coating, such as galvanized thin plates, tin-plated thin plates, lead-plated thin plates, plastic-coated steel plates, etc. Different modes of transportation have different calculation standards and methods. For example, in railway full-carriage transportation, the marked load capacity of the railcar used is generally taken as the chargeable weight.
