Note: The length unit in the formula is meters, the area unit is square meters, and the remaining units are millimeters. The above weight x unit price of materials is the material fee, plus surface treatment + working hours of each process + packaging materials + shipping fee + tax + interest rate = quoted price (FOB).

The oretical weight calculation of steel

The unit of measurement for calculating the theoretical weight of steel is kilogram (kg). The basic formula is:

W (weight, kg) =F (section area mm²) ×L (length m) ×ρ (density g/cm³) ×1/1000

 

The theoretical weight calculation formula of various steels is as follows:

Round steel rod (kg/m)

W = 0.006165 * d * d

d= diameter mm

100mm diameter round steel, weight per m.

Weight per m =0.006165×100²=61.65kg

 

Rebar (kg/m)

W = 0.00617 * d * d

d= section diameter mm

Rebar with section diameter of 12mm, weight per m.

Weight per m =0.00617×12²=0.89kg

 

Square steel (kg/m)

W = 0.00785 * a * a

a= side width mm

Square steel with side width of 20mm, weight per m.

Weight per m =0.00785 ×20²=3.14kg

 

Flat steel (kg/m)

W = 0.00785 * b * d

b= side width millimeters

d= mm thick

Width 40mm, thickness 5mm flat steel, weight per m.

Weight per m =0.00785×40×5=1.57kg

 

Hexagonal steel (kg/m)

W = 0.006798 * s * s

s= distance from opposite side mm

For hexagonal steel with a distance of 50mm from the opposite side, find the weight per m.

Weight per m =0.006798×502=17kg

 

Octagonal steel (kg/m)

W = 0.0065 * s * s

s= distance from opposite side mm

The octagonal steel with a distance of 80mm on the opposite side is required to obtain the weight per m. Weight per m =0.0065×802=41.62kg

 

Equal Angle steel (kg/m)

W=0.00785×[d (2b-d)+0.215(R2-2r2)]

r= radius of the end arc

Find the weight per m of 20mm x 4mm equilateral Angle steel. From the metallurgical product catalog, it is found that the R of 4mm×20mm equilar Angle steel is 3.5 and 1.2, then the weight per m =0.00785×[4× (2× 20-4) +0.215× (3.52-2×1.2²)]=1.15kg

r= radius of the end arc

Find the weight per m of 30mm×20mm×4mm unequal Angle steel. From the metallurgical product catalog, the R of 30×20×4 unequal Angle steel is 3.5 and r is 1.2, then the weight per m =0.00785×[4× (30+20-4) +0.215× (3.52-2×1.2 2)]=1.46kg

 

Channel steel (kg/m)

W =0.00785×[hd + 2t (b-d)+0.349(R2-r2)]

h= High

b= leg length

d= waist thickness

t= average leg thickness

R= inner arc radius

r= radius of the end arc

Find the weight per m of 80mm x 43mm x 5mm channel steel. From the metallurgical product catalog found that the channel steel t is 8, R is 8, r is 4, then the weight per m =0.00785×[80×5+2×8× (43 -- 5) +0.349× (82 -- 4²)]=8.04kg

 

I-beam steel (kg/m)

h= High

b= leg length

d= waist thickness

t= average leg thickness

Find the weight of 250mm×118mm×10mm I-steel per m. From the metal material manual, it is found that the I-steel t is 13, r is 10, and r is 5, then the weight per m = 0.00785×[250×10+2×13× (118-10) +0.615× (10² - 5²)]=42.03kg

 

Steel plate (kg/m²)

W = 7.85 x d

d= thickness

W=0.02466×S (D - S)

D= outside diameter

S= wall thickness

A seamless steel pipe with an outer diameter of 60mm and a wall thickness of 4mm is obtained per m weight.
