Flat Bar Weight Calculator
Total Weight = 14.13 kg
Flat bar dimensions: L = Length, W = Width, T = Thickness
Formula Used to Calculate Flat Bar Weight
The weight of a mild steel flat bar can be calculated using the following formula:
Weight (kg) = Width × Thickness × Length × 7.85 / 1,000,000
- Width = Flat bar width in millimeters
- Thickness = Flat bar thickness in millimeters
- Length = Flat bar length in millimeters
- 7.85 = Density of mild steel (g/cm³)
Example Calculation
If a flat bar has the following dimensions:
- Width = 50 mm
- Thickness = 6 mm
- Length = 6000 mm
Weight = 50 × 6 × 6000 × 7.85 / 1,000,000
Total Weight = 14.13 kg
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the density of mild steel?
The density of mild steel is approximately 7850 kg/m³ or 7.85 g/cm³.
Why is flat bar weight calculation important?
