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!

What is the weight of a 6 inch 18ft heavy gauge steel stud?

The weight of a 6-inch, 18-foot heavy gauge steel stud can vary based on the specific gauge of the steel, but typically, heavy gauge steel studs weigh approximately 1.5 to 2.0 pounds per linear foot. Therefore, an 18-foot stud would weigh between 27 to 36 pounds. For precise weight, it’s best to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the specific gauge being used.

What is the weight for a 8 foot long precast concrete culvert pipe 36 inch outside diameter 4 inch wall thickness?

To calculate the weight of an 8-foot long precast concrete culvert pipe with a 36-inch outside diameter and a 4-inch wall thickness, you first determine the pipe's volume. The outside diameter is 36 inches, and the inside diameter is 28 inches (36 - 2 * 4). The volume can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylindrical shell. The density of concrete is typically around 150 pounds per cubic foot, so you can multiply the volume by this density to find the weight. The total weight will be approximately 1,200 to 1,300 pounds.

How much pound in a length of half inch steel?

The weight of a half-inch steel rod varies depending on its length and the specific type of steel. However, as a general estimate, a half-inch diameter steel rod weighs approximately 0.491 pounds per foot. To calculate the total weight, multiply the length of the rod in feet by this weight per foot. For example, a 10-foot length would weigh about 4.91 pounds.

How many half inch steel make a ton?

The number of half-inch steel plates or bars that make a ton depends on the dimensions and density of the steel. Steel typically has a density of about 490 pounds per cubic foot. To calculate, you would need to determine the volume of a single half-inch steel piece and then divide the total weight (2,000 pounds for a ton) by the weight of that individual piece. For example, if each half-inch steel piece weighs 10 pounds, then 200 pieces would make a ton.

Weight of steel per cubic inch?

Steel is an alloy - a mixture of various metals - and so its density depends on the proportion of the constituents in the alloy. The weight (not mass) varies between 9.0 and 9.3 pounds weight per cubic inch.


How much does a 12 inch X 12 inch x 1 inch piece of tungsten steel weigh?

To calculate the weight of a 12 inch x 12 inch x 1 inch piece of tungsten steel, first find the volume: (12 \times 12 \times 1 = 144 , \text{cubic inches}). Tungsten steel has a density of approximately 0.28 pounds per cubic inch. Therefore, the weight would be (144 , \text{cubic inches} \times 0.28 , \text{pounds/cubic inch} \approx 40.32 , \text{pounds}).
