Coil Weight Calculator

Formula

To calculate the coil weight:

$CW = \frac{W \cdot L \cdot T \cdot D}{2 \cdot 10^6}$

Where:

$CW$ is the coil weight (kg)
$W$ is the width of the coil (mm)
$L$ is the length of the coil (m)
$T$ is the thickness of the coil (mm)
$D$ is the density of the material (kg/m³)

Coil Weight Definition

Coil weight, also known as coil mass or coil size, refers to the weight of a rolled coil of material. This is typically used in the steel industry to measure the weight of steel or aluminum coils. The coil weight is determined by the width, thickness, and length of the material in the coil, as well as the density of the material. It is an important factor in the handling, shipping, and processing of the coil. The coil weight can also impact the cost of the material, as heavier coils may require more resources to transport and process.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Width of Coil (W) = 1000 mm
Length of Coil (L) = 2000 m
Thickness of Coil (T) = 2 mm
Density of Material (D) = 7850 kg/m³

Using the formula:

$CW = \frac{1000 \cdot 2000 \cdot 2 \cdot 7850}{2 \cdot 10^6} = 15700$

The coil weight is 15700 kg.
