Calculation
How is the weight of flat steel calculated?
Flat steel has a rectangular cross-section. Width times thickness gives the cross-sectional area, times length the volume, and times density the weight.
Formula
m = b × s × L × ρ
- b = width in mm
- s = thickness in mm
- L = length in mm
- ρ = density (steel: 7.85 kg/dm³)
Example: a 50 × 10 mm flat bar weighs about 3.93 kg per metre.
