Profile weight calculator
Calculate the linear weight (kg/m) of an aluminum profile from its cross-section and wall thickness, plus the weight per piece at your standard length. Method: cross-section area (mm²) × alloy density.
How is it calculated?
Cross-section area (mm²) × density (g/cm³) ÷ 1000 = kg/m. Then kg/m × length = weight per piece.
291 mm² × 2.70 ÷ 1000 = 0.786 kg/m · 0.786 × 6.4 = 5.028 kg
CBM = outer box (width × height) × length × quantity, in m³. It is the bounding volume to estimate container space; real packing may nest pieces and use less.
What is the weight calculator for?
Knowing the weight of an aluminum profile is key to quoting, estimating container freight (CBM) and checking structural loads. This tool gives you the linear weight (kg/m) and the weight per bar of square, rectangular, round, angle (L) and U-shaped profiles in seconds — no spreadsheets.
How to calculate an aluminum profile's weight
Pick the shape, enter the dimensions and wall thickness in mm, choose the alloy —6063-T5 is the standard for architectural extrusion, density ≈ 2.70 g/cm³— and set the length (the standard bar is 6.40 m) and quantity. You instantly get kg/m, total weight per piece and the volume (CBM) to estimate container space.
