We know the formula D2/162 which is being used for calculate unit weight of reinforcement per meter.
Here I am willing to explain how it has been arrived D2/162 (Note: D unit is in MM)
Weight of bar per meter = Area of steel bar X Density of steel x Length of bar
= (3.14 x D2/4) x 7850 kg/m3 x 1 m
= D2 X 6162.25/(1000x1000)
= D2 X (0.006162)
= D2 X 1/(0.006162)-1
= (D2/162.28)
The actual value is D2/162.28
Kindly note that this function is only applicable for circular shape steel which density is 7850kg/m3
0.283 pounds per cubic inch
Yes. It can sometimes be made of plastic or have a vinyl coating. To be precise it is a mild steel.
The most common steel is mild steel, also called plain-carbon steel. It's density is approximately 7.85g/cm3. (Wikipedia)
Charles Babbage used mild steel, brass, metal, and gears
Engineers and metal workers use the following abbreviations for metals. SS - Stainless Steel. MS- Mild Steel which means the weakest strength steel which is made. RHS - Rectangular Hollow Section. SHS - Square Hollow Section. There are many grades of Stainless Steel, depending upon what it is to be used for. Some cheap grades of SS , are only partly rust resistant. More expensive types such as used to make kitchen sinks, are totally rust free.
What is the weight of 50x50x5 mm mild steel angle per metre length? Density mild steel is 7.85 g/cm3 Volume is 2x(4.5x0.5x100)+(0.5x0.5x100)=475 cm3 Weight is 7.85x475=3728.75 g (per metre).
A mild steel ERW tube 25mm diameter with 2mm wall with 1000 mm length weighs about 1.2kg
Wt of 12 mm tor steel, length 2500 mm
1.58 kg
3 KG / Meter
what is the weight od 25x25x3 mm mild steel angle per meter
Weight of 60x60x6mm Angle is 5.4 kg/m. So, 4 metre length, it will be 21.6 kg Total.
when you need to find mass or weight of 80mm thick mild steel plate then just measure it's length and width and multiply by it's mass or weight per sqm. volume of steel = 2.5x1.25x.08 = 0.25 cub.m assuming your steel to be mild steel (if the steel is different then place appropriate density for it and you need to workout as below) density of mild steel= 7850 kg/m3 mass of steel = 0.25x7850 = 1962.50 Kg weight of steel = 1962.50x9.81 = 19252.13 N A little time saver for next time: Area of steel = 2.5x1.25 = 3.125 sqm so mass per sqm = 1962.50/3.125 = 628 Kg weight per sqm = 19252.13/3.125 = 6160.68 N
gear with shaft dia40mm length 230 teeth 14 shaft dia 25mm width 6.5mm length 168mm
formula calculation of steel round bar > Area (square metres) of cross section * 7850 = kilograms per metre length. For other lengths, multiply answer by length in metres.
The weight of mild steel can vary slightly depending on the exact composition, but as a general rule of thumb, the weight of a 2mm thick hot rolled commercial quality mild steel sheet is approximately 15.7 kilograms per square meter.
