Tool Description / Notes
Material Weight Calculator is a practical tool designed for engineers, machinists, and procurement professionals who need quick and accurate material weight estimates.
Simply choose your material type, geometry, and enter the required dimensions. The tool will calculate the volume and corresponding weight based on material density.
✅ Supports multiple shapes: Block, Cylinder, Hollow Cylinder, Sphere, Plate, or Custom Volume.
✅ Includes a wide range of materials (Aluminum, Steel, Brass, Plastic, etc.) with preloaded density values.
✅ Units can be toggled between metric (mm, kg) and imperial (inch, lbs).
✅ Results can be exported as PDF or sent to your email for quoting or documentation purposes.
⚠️ Note: This tool is intended for estimation purposes only. Actual weight may vary depending on material batch tolerance, machining allowance, or added surface treatments.
