How many half inch steel make a ton?

Answer 1

The number of half-inch steel plates or bars that make a ton depends on the dimensions and density of the steel. Steel typically has a density of about 490 pounds per cubic foot. To calculate, you would need to determine the volume of a single half-inch steel piece and then divide the total weight (2,000 pounds for a ton) by the weight of that individual piece. For example, if each half-inch steel piece weighs 10 pounds, then 200 pieces would make a ton.
