About aluminium
Aluminium is one of the most versatile and durable materials of our time. Thanks to its unique combination of light weight, high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, aluminium is suited to countless applications in both industry and construction.
That is why we deliver more than aluminium. We provide complete peace of mind: from raw stock or custom work to comprehensive documentation, working according to recognised quality standards, including ISO 9001.
Thanks to short lines, logistical flexibility and in-depth knowledge of the sector, we ensure that every project worldwide proceeds according to schedule.

Weight calculation
Calculating weights is essential when determining the quantity of aluminium you need. The overview below contains all the formulas.
Plate
(L × B × D × 2,7) ÷ 1000 = grams per plate
Disc
(B × B × D × 2,14) ÷ 1000 = grams per piece
Round tube
(B + C) × (2 × D) × 2,14 = grams per metre
Round bar (2007/2011)
D × D × 2,23 = grams per metre
Round bar (6082)
D × D × 2,14 = grams per metre
Square bar (2007/2011)
D × D × 2,84 = grams per metre
Square bar (6082)
D × D × 2,7 = grams per metre
Hexagonal bar (2011)
D × D × 2,44 = grams per metre
Flat bar
B × D × 2,7 = grams per metre
Angle profile
(B + H – D) × D × 2,7 = grams per metre
T-profile
(B + H – D) × D × 2,7 = grams per metre
U-profile
(H + B + H) – 2 × D × 2,7 = grams per metre
Box profile
(B + H – 2D) × 2D × 2,7 = grams per metre
All dimensions in the calculation must be entered in mm.
