Aluminium sheet and plate weight per square metre
Aluminium sheet weighs 2.70 kg per square metre for every millimetre of thickness, because its density is 2700 kg/m³ (aluminium 6060–6082). So 2 mm sheet is 5.40 kg/m², or 1.106 lb per square foot.

Each size opens the calculator with it, for any length, quantity or material.
- Nominal thickness. Rolling tolerances and coatings (galvanising, cladding) change the real weight a little.
- Density 2700 kg/m³, the calculator's typical value for aluminium 6060–6082; a figure from the supplier's data sheet beats it.
How it is worked out
Weight per m² = 1 m² × thickness × density. For 2 mm: 1 × 0.002 m × 2700 kg/m³ = 5.40 kg. A whole sheet is that times its area: 1000 × 2000 mm is 2 m², so 10.80 kg.
