How heavy will it be (a guide)

[Apache]

Gents,

Is there a resource anywhere online that tells me how heavy various sizes and grades of steel (particularly) will weigh?

Looking at building a welding table with castors but don't want to get a 25mm thick top to find it weighs half a tonne.

Just a guide that 1mX1m sheet of 10mm thick weighs Xkg.

Thanks

For sheet and plate its easy, all you need to remember is that one square metre of 1mm sheet weighs 7.85 kg, everything else is a multiple of that
so 10mm is 78.5kg per sq mtre, and 25mm plate is 196.25kg per sq mtr, easy.
For sections have a look at the IMS site, weights per metre run are listed

Thank you. That is very helpful.

With a little calculation should broadly apply to box section ect.

The product section of this supplier lists weights:
