Plate is normally held in 6 metre, 10 metre or 12.2 metre lengths in widths of 2 metre, 2.5 metre

and 3.05 metre. An infinite length and width variety together with alternate material specification

options are also available through mill sources.

To calculate the weight of a reversing mill plate, the following formula should be applied:

Length (m) x Width (m) x Thickness (mm) x .0.00785 or 0.00800

The following is a selection of examples and are typical of Edgen Murray stock supply.

LENGTH(M)	WIDTH(M)	THICKNESS(MM)	WEIGHT FACTOR(KG/MM)	WEIGHT FACTOR(KG/MM)	PLATE WEIGHT(TONNES)
10.000	3.050	20	7.85		4.789
10.000	3.050	20		8.00	4.880
6.000	2.500	70	7.85		8.242
6.000	2.500	70		8.00	8.400

The use of either 7.85 or 8.00 kg per mm of thickness as the weight factor is dependent upon the mill of production and the material

grade. On occasion other weight factors may be applied. This is particularly the case with respect to Alloy Products such as Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys. Please always check with your normal point of contact.

Plates are supplied to the dimensional and flatness tolerances of the relevant product standard. Likewise material will be tested in accordance with the relevant product standard.

Modifications to such standards are possible and this should be discussed with us as necessary.

Edgen Murray also has in place with the major plate mill manufacturers a fully comprehensive list of Proprietary Specifications to

facilitate ease of ordering. These specifications are based upon the principal National Standards applicable to Offshore Quality materials

with appropriate and relevant modified enhancements. Copies of these Proprietary Specifications are available upon request.

For all of your requirements and further information, please speak with your usual point of contact.
