A pipestem triangle is made from galvanized steel and porcelain pipe. It is used to support a crucible on a ring when it is being heated by a burner.
It depends what you need to do to or with the area. You need it to make a purchase i.e. land or carpeting. You may need it to quantify how much paint to buy for painting a room or fertilizer for your yard. It can be used in Physics, i.e. a pound of steel shaped into a solid ball will sink, yet if shaped into a large bowl, it floats. Just too many applications to list.
Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object. cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.
A ruler made of stainless steel.
Steel? Aluminium?As a column (vertical leg) or a horizontal beam?In both cases the length and the method of fixing/supporting the ends will determine the maximum allowable load.
Steel
Steel I beams

Among our handy steel beam tables you can find standard beams' dimensions and beams' weights, steel hollow sections tables and other steel profiles data.
The "W" in steel I-beam designations refers to wide-flanged beams. Most wide-flanged beams are symmetric about both the vertical and horizontal axes.
Elevator!
You can purchase steel beams from anywhere from Home Depot to Global Industrial. Global Industrial is the number 1 location for this type of material.
They are called Side Impact Door Beams. They can be made of steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber.
An angle iron is a length of iron or steel, with an L-shaped cross-section, used as a structural support.
A rivet gun is used to punch steel bolts into steel beams.
Of course steel melts. That is how is shaped into steel objects.
Steel is malleable after heating.
