How to Calculate the Weight of a Material?
To calculate the weight of a material, you first need to determine its volume and then multiply it by its specific density. Weight calculation is a critical topic, especially in the metal, iron, and steel industries. Knowing the weight of steel materials when placing an order provides significant advantages during transportation and shipping phases. This calculation helps optimize the load capacity of vehicles and plan the amount of material that can be transported.
What is the Purpose of Hasçelik’s Steel Material Weight Calculation Tool?
Hasçelik’s steel material weight calculation tool allows users to perform precise calculations based on the selected shape of the steel material. By entering dimensions such as height, width, length, thickness, diameter, or outer diameter, as well as the quantity of pieces, users can quickly calculate the total weight. Similar to other metal weight calculations , Hasçelik uses millimeters (mm) for dimensions and kilograms (kg) for weight.
What Can You Calculate with the Weight Calculation Chart?
With the weight calculation chart available on Hascelik.com, users can calculate the weight of all steel materials offered. The dimensional parameters vary depending on the shape of the material. By entering these dimensions, users can calculate the weights of steel materials such as hexagonal bars, square bars, flat bars, and round bars.
Hexagonal Bar Weight Calculation
To calculate the weight of a hexagonal material, two dimensions must be entered:
- Width (distance between opposite faces, s)
- Length (l)
Formula:
Kg = s x s x l x 0.0068 / 1000
Square Bar Weight Calculation
To calculate the weight of a square-shaped material, three dimensions must be entered:
- Width (a)
- Height (a)
- Length (l)
After multiplying these dimensions, the result is further multiplied by the material's density to determine its weight.
Formula:
Kg = a x a x l x 0.00785 / 1000
Flat Bar (Lama) Weight Calculation
Flat bars, also known as lama, are rectangular-shaped hot-rolled sections made from steel or iron. To calculate the weight of a flat bar, three dimensions must be entered:
- Width (a)
- Height (b)
- Length (l)
Formula:
Kg = a x b x l x 0.00785 / 1000
Round Bar Weight Calculation (Solid Steel Material)
To calculate the weight of a round steel bar (also referred to as rod or mil), two dimensions must be entered:
- Diameter (d)
- Length (l)
As it belongs to the solid material category, the formula is:
Formula:
Kg = d x d x l x 0.00617 / 1000
Steel Pipe Weight Calculation
To calculate the weight of a steel pipe, three dimensions must be entered:
- Outer diameter (d)
- Wall thickness (t)
- Length (l)
Formula:
Kg = (d - t) x t x l x 0.02466 / 1000
Why is Steel Weight Calculation Important?
Accurate weight calculation is essential for logistics, proper material selection, and efficient load capacity planning. Hasçelik’s weight calculation tool enables users to quickly and accurately calculate the weight of common steel shapes, saving both time and costs.
