Galvanized Iron or GI Sheet are mainly known as rust free material, as these sheets come with Zinc coating. Following GI Sheet Weight Chart Table will guide you to choose the right thickness for your project. If your sizes and dimensions are not mentioned in the table you can use the simple formula to extract the weight quickly:
Length (L) x Width (W) x Thickness (T) x Density = Gi Sheet Weight
Where Gi Sheet Density is 7.85 kg/m3
To know the accurate GI Sheet weight make sure you use the correct unit. Measure the GI sheet length and width in meters and Thickness in milimeter (mm). You can also use Steel Plate Weight Calculator to estimate the GI Sheet weight quickly.
