Here is a formula that you can put in your head and use for calculating plate, pipe, angle iron or even a fabrication with a pencil and paper and the math they taught you in school. 1/8" plate steel is known as 5# plate. If you know how many eighths thick it is...it's 5# for each one of them. 8/8 (1") is 40# per square foot. I have used in all my adult life and it will get you real close. Everyone who uses metal should know it. With all the room in your brain...you could probably look up cast iron, aluminum etc. (from a metal handbook) and have a formula for them too. L8R....Fred OH
