Calculation Principle
The calculator determines the weight based on the steel’s volume multiplied by its density. Volume is calculated from the cross-sectional area derived from dimensions (outer diameter, inner diameter, wall thickness, or width and height for HSS). The standard steel density used is approximately 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³). The output converts this into weight per meter (kg/m) or per foot (lbs/ft).
FAQ
- Q: Can I use this calculator for non-steel materials?
- A: This tool is calibrated for steel only. For other materials, weight may vary due to different densities.
- Q: How accurate are the results?
- A: The calculator uses standard steel density and precise geometry formulas for high accuracy, suitable for most fabrication and engineering needs.
- Q: Can I input custom dimensions?
- A: Yes, the calculator allows manual dimension inputs for non-standard sizes.
- Q: Does it support both metric and imperial units?
- A: Yes, you can easily switch between kg/m and lbs/ft.
