🔷 FAQ

Q1: What is the section modulus used for?

A: It helps engineers determine how much bending stress a solid round bar can safely handle.

Q2: Can I calculate for hollow pipes?

A: No. This tool is designed for solid round bars only. For pipes or tubes, use a pipe-specific calculator.

Q3: Can I input the diameter in inches?

A: Yes, simply choose “inches” as the input unit before calculating.

Q4: Is this calculator useful for profile bending?

A: Absolutely. Section modulus is essential for determining how easily or safely a bar can be bent.
