What is stronger a 4 inch X 2 inch steel tube or 4 inch steel channel over a 5 foot span?

I assume you mean a 4 x 2 square tube that is loaded in the direction of the 4 inch dimension; then it is stronger than a 4 inch channel with flange width of 2 inches loaded in the direction of the 4 inch dimension, because the square tube has more inertia

Is 16 gauge steel bigger than 14 gauge steel?
GAUGE , is one inch thick of steel or metal. So, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 12 equal thickness sheets , you get a 12 gauge steel sheet. Similarly, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 14 equal thickness sheets , you get a 14 gauge steel sheet. and so on . So, a 12 gauge steel sheet is thicker than 14 gauge , 14 is thicker than 16 , 16 is thicker than 18 and so on. Wrong!!! See my discussion on this...
What is the fire resistance rating for 8th inch steel plate?
Unprotected steel is generally not recognized as having a fire resistance rating.
Can a 12 gauge slug go through a 2 inch steel plate?
It is not possible to blast a hole in 2 inch steel plate with a 12 gauge slug. The slug will barely dent the plate, if it does anything at all.
What is formula to calculate steel rod weight per inch?
Steel rod weight per inch.... this depends on the thickness and shape of the steel rod. The density of steel is around 500 pounds per cubit foot, so, for example: If the rod is cylindrical and has a diameter of 1/2 inch, each "inch" of the rod is a cylinder with length L=1. The volume of this cylinder is found with pi*r^2*L. Since diameter = .5in, radius = .25in. pi*.25^2*1 = about .2in^3 or 1/5 cubic inch. Now, a cubic inch is about 5.8*10^-4 cubic feet, so... 500lb/ft^3 * 5.8*10^-4 in^3/ft^3 = .28935 pounds per cubic inch. We have one fifth cubic inch, so multiply that by .2... and each inch of our rod weighs .05787 pounds, which is pretty much 3/50 pounds. Coincidentally, 3/50 of a pound is just about an ounce, so our cylindrical steel rod of diameter 1/2 inch pretty much weighs one ounce per inch!
In comparing a 16 and 20 gauge steel casket the 16 gauge casket would be?
The strength, durability, and longevity of steel caskets depends first of all on the quality and thickness of the metal sheets used. The United States Standard Gauge for the thickness of metal sheets is based on the number of sheets required to total one inch. The gauge number (ga) informs about the thickness of the steel sheets in such a way that the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. (20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch.) Twenty gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 1/20" or 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. More expensive steel Caskets are made from 18- and 16-gauge steel. 16 ga steel sheets have a thickness of 1/16" or 1,3 mm. 16 ga steel is twice as heavy as 20 ga steel, 140% stronger and has a 140% longer life than 20ga.
How much does a square foot of a one inch steel plate weigh?
Steel is typically 490 lb/cubic foot. There are 1,728 square inches in a cubic foot which means that each cubic inch weighs about .284 pounds (just a bit over a quarter of a pound per square inch).
What is the volume of water in 1 foot of 6 inch steel pipe?
0.19635 cubic feet.
How much does 3 inch channel weigh per foot?
it comes in several weights per foot but most common is 5.4#/ft.
How much does a 8 foot by 10 foot by one inch steel plate weigh?
Using density of steel @ 490.06 pounds per cubic foot (approx) 8 * 10 * (1/12) * 490.06 = 3267.07 pounds (approx)
Is steel bulletproof?
It depends. If it is a foot thick, definitely. but if the steel is only a few inches or less than an inch, it isn't. steel isn't strong enough on it's own to be bulletproof.
How much does a 12 inch X 12 inch 1 inch thick piece of steel weigh per foot?
TO answer this question, you need to know the density and the volume of the piece of steel. For example, "mild steel" weighs .284 pounds per cubic inch. The volume of a 12 inch x 12 inch x 1 inch piece of steel is 12 * 12 * 1 = 144 cubic inches. .284 pounds/inch^3 * 144 inch^3 = 40.896 pounds. So each of these steel tiles will weigh about 41 pounds.
How much weight will a four inch tall X 2 inch wide with a one quarter section steel tube five foot long supported on both ends hold in the middle without bending?
That depends... on the composition of the steel !
How much does a cubic foot of quarter inch ball bearings weigh?
If you mean a container with a volume of 1 cubic foot, then: 1/4 inch ball = 0.0082 cu. inch weigh of each ball (steel) = 0.0023 pounds approx. 73.6 balls per cubic inch (allowing for spherical interlocking) 1728 cubic inches ( one cubic foot) x 73.6 x 0.0023 = 292 pounds. So a cu. ft. container will hold close to 300 pounds of quarter inch steel balls.
Is an inch same as an inch?
Yes. An inch is a twelfth of a foot. As there are 12 inches to a foot.
