Calculate the Weight of MS Chequered Plate

MS Chequered Plates, also known as diamond plates or tread plates, have a raised pattern that provides extra grip. This pattern also adds weight compared to a flat plate of the same nominal thickness. Our calculator helps you estimate the total weight for accurate material planning.

How to Use the Calculator

To find the weight, you will need to enter the plate's dimensions:

  • Length and Width: The overall dimensions of the plate in millimeters (mm).
  • Thickness: The nominal thickness of the plate (the thickness of the base metal, not including the raised pattern) in millimeters (mm).

    • The calculator first finds the weight of a standard flat plate of the given dimensions. It then adds an approximate weight for the chequered pattern, which is typically around 4-8 kg per square meter, depending on the pattern's height and density. This gives you a reliable total weight for your logistics and structural calculations.
