Steel weight, container loading and unit conversion calculators for planning your order.
Quick Tools
Theoretical figures for planning. Actual weight varies slightly with grade and mill tolerance — your mill test certificate is the final word.
Theoretical weight per piece and per order, from dimensions.
How many pieces a container takes, limited by payload.
Payload limits are typical ocean-freight figures. Actual limit depends on the shipping line and road limits at destination.
Metric, imperial and gauge — the three ways buyers quote thickness.
Gauge values follow the standard stainless steel gauge chart. Gauge is not the same across metals — always confirm in millimetres.
Send your size list and we will come back with actual piece weights, packing plan and a container loading diagram.
Reference
One grade, five names. Type any of them — AISI, UNS, EN, JIS or GB — and the row will surface.

Equivalent grades are not identical grades. Chemistry ranges and tolerances differ — confirm against the mill certificate before substituting in a pressure or structural application.
