The weight of 10mm textured metal plate per square foot ranges from approximately 0.6 to 17.2 pounds, depending on the material composition. Aluminum-based plates typically weigh around 0.6–1.2 pounds per square foot, while steel or stainless steel variants range between 16.0 and 17.2 pounds per square foot. Textured finishes slightly increase weight compared to smooth surfaces due to surface irregularities and added material volume.

The weight calculation hinges on material density, plate thickness, and surface texture. For example, a 10mm (0.0328 feet) aluminum plate (density: 168.55 lb/ft³) weighs approximately 0.55 pounds per square foot before texturing. Texturing adds 0.05–0.7 pounds per square foot, depending on depth and pattern complexity. For steel (density: 490 lb/ft³), the base weight is roughly 16.05 pounds per square foot, with texturing increasing it by 0.3–1.2 pounds. Stainless steel (density: 517 lb/ft³) follows a similar pattern, yielding 16.96–17.2 pounds per square foot after texturing.

Data from and confirms these ranges. Aluminum’s lower density explains its lighter weight, while steel and stainless steel’s higher densities dominate heavier applications. Texturing impacts weight by 2–8% for aluminum and 1.5–7.5% for steels, as surface roughness introduces additional material. This variance ensures precise material selection for structural or aesthetic projects requiring specific weight thresholds. For instance, lightweight aluminum plates are ideal for solar panels or facades, whereas steel variants suit load-bearing structures. Always verify manufacturer specifications, as variations in alloy composition and texture depth can alter results.
