When exporting Aluminium Blocks from India to markets like Germany, UK, or UAE, precision in weight calculation is critical for logistics and customs documentation. Since Aluminium 6061 and 7075 have different densities, using a generic multiplier can lead to errors in shipping quotes.
Standard Density for Calculations:
  • Aluminium 6061: 2.70 g/cm³
  • Aluminium 7075: 2.81 g/cm³
The Universal Formula:
Weight (kg) = [Length (mm) x Width (mm) x Thickness (mm) x Density] / 1,000,000

Quick Reference: Aluminium Block Weight Chart (Standard Sizes)

Expert Tips for Buyers in Germany & UK:
  1. Tolerances: Always verify if the block is "Saw Cut" or "CNC Machined," as this affects the final weight.
  2. Certification: Ensure your supplier provides MTC (Mill Test Certificate) for 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 grades to meet international industrial standards.
  3. Surface Finish: For high-precision tool making, specify if you need "Plates" or "Forged Blocks."
