Stainless steel will not "lose weight" at high temperatures. However, stainless steel can undergo changes in its physical properties when exposed to high temperatures, such as oxidation or deformation.
The weight of a cubic foot of stainless steel is around 494 pounds.
True Bar in stainless steel means the manufacture of the bar is rolled on the thickness and the width, attaining a more 90 degree relationship to thickness and width, unlike sheared and edged condition stainless, which is sheared from stainless plate, which offers a rough, usually out of square edge. True bar also may be defined as HRAP (hot rolled annealed and pickled), thus if you see a listing 304/304L HRAP, it is a True Bar, as this is a stainless rolled product.
Yes, stainless steel can spark when hit by stainless steel if there is a high amount of force involved. This can happen because of the friction generated between the two pieces of stainless steel, causing sparks due to the heat produced. It is important to use caution when working with stainless steel to avoid this situation.
Stainless steel draining boards are generally not magnetic, as most stainless steel alloys used in kitchenware are non-magnetic. However, some types of stainless steel, like ferritic stainless steel, can exhibit magnetic properties. If the draining board is made from austenitic stainless steel, which is more common, it will typically not be magnetic.
Not at all it has about the same strength as normal steel (by thickness and weight); it just does not rust (or as quickly) due to the addition of Nickle to the steel.
To calculate the weight of a stainless steel plate, multiply the volume of the plate (length x width x thickness) by the density of stainless steel (typically around 8000 kg/m^3). The resulting value will give you the weight of the stainless steel plate in kilograms.
Guage is the thickness of the stainless steel, or other kind of metal.
on a solid structure the bearing weight is according to thickness x.414 +span

The weight of a stainless steel tank can vary significantly based on its design, thickness, and the specific grade of stainless steel used. However, a rough estimate for a stainless steel tank is about 8 to 10 kg per liter of capacity. Therefore, for a tank with a capacity of L liters, you might expect the weight to be approximately 8L to 10L kg. For precise calculations, it's best to refer to the manufacturer's specifications or engineering details.
How thick thick the metal is.
It depends on the weight
.165"
For a tank that size filled with water, you would typically need stainless steel with a thickness of at least 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) to ensure structural integrity and prevent buckling or deformation. Thicker stainless steel, such as 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) or 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), may be required depending on the specific design factors and intended use of the tank. Consulting with a structural engineer or tank manufacturer would be recommended to determine the exact thickness needed for your specific application.
The weight of a 1 meter stainless steel shaft will depend on the specific grade and dimensions of the shaft. To calculate the weight, you would need to know the diameter and thickness of the shaft, as well as the density of the stainless steel material being used. You can use online calculators or reference materials to find the weight based on these factors.
No; steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium added. Stainless steel is usually 13-25% chromium (by weight).
