Sheet steel weight cards

Carbon steel, galvanized steel and tread / diamond plate weights from the Blue Star Metals reference cards used in our calculator.

Look up nominal thickness, pounds per square foot and calculated weight for a 4 × 8 sheet. Includes carbon steel gauges 4–30, galvanized gauges 10–30 and six tread plate sizes.

Book weights are estimates. Actual weights may vary; packaging is excluded. The 4 × 8 weights are calculated from the card rate and rounded to two decimals.

Press brake air-bending tonnage

Use the fill-in-the-blank tonnage & tooling planner ↗

A quick-reference matrix of material thickness and V-die opening, with estimated U.S. short tons per foot for 90° air bends in 60,000 psi tensile mild steel.

Includes a corrected three-point contact diagram, a step-by-step tonnage example, and the calculation basis. Nominal gauge thicknesses match the manufacturer calculator reference. Values are calculated estimates using the 575 formula, checked against Wysong’s calculator; they may differ from other manufacturers’ charts.

Air bending only. Confirm actual material properties, minimum bend radius and all machine and tooling load limits. This reference does not establish shop capacity.

Punch-to-die clearance

A simple lookup chart for cold rolled steel, from 25 gauge through 3/8 inch. Find nominal thickness, total clearance at 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%, and the recommended total clearance from the shop reference.

The highlighted recommendation column is repeated on every row for easy reading. Includes a die-sizing example and a clear explanation of total clearance versus clearance per side.

Recommended values follow the supplied shop reference. Measure actual stock thickness and confirm material, tooling and press capacity before use. This cold-rolled-steel chart is not a clearance guide for stainless steel or aluminum.
