304 vs. 304L Stainless Steel Plate: Price

The price of 304L stainless steel plate is typically 5% to 15% higher than that of standard 304 stainless steel; this is primarily because its production process requires adherence to stricter control standards to achieve a lower carbon content (≤0.03%). Although 304L offers superior weldability, 304 is generally more affordable and is suitable for structural applications where welding is not required.

 

How to Calculate SUS 304L Plate Weight?

Avoid being overcharged by knowing exactly how much your steel weighs. The density of SUS 304L is approximately 7.93 g/cm³.
The Formula:Weight (kg) = Thickness (mm) × Width (m) × Length (m) × 7.93
Example: If you have a plate that is 5mm thick, 1.5m wide, and 6m long:
5 × 1.5 × 6 × 7.93 = 356.85 kg
