Plate Weight Calculation:
Sample Profile for Calculation "PL50 1200X1200"
Chamfer 400X400, Hole Ø800
TS Calculation value as per Template:
WEIGHT_GROSS : 565.20 kg
WEIGHT_NET : 338.16 kg
Manually Calculation:
Gross weight : 1.200*1.200*0.050*7850.00= 565.20 kg
Net weight : 565.20 kg – 228.69 kg = 336.51 kg
Difference comes from distance between a straight segment used to display a tubular section in model views and the actual tubular section. This is controlled with variable
XS_CHORD_TOLERANCE_FOR_TUBE_SEGMENTS (default difference is 1 mm)

- Chamfer : 0.400*0.400*0.050/2*7850.00=31.4 kg
- Hole : Pi*0.400*0.400*0.050*7850.00=197.29 kg
