The Weight of Metal Cylinder calculator computes the weight (mass) of a cylinder based on the radius of the base of the cylinder (r), the height of the cylinder (h), and the density of the metal (mD). The default is set to the density of steel (7,850 kg/m3).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following.
Weight of Metal Cylinder (Wt): The weight / mass is returned in grams, with the volume of the cylinder in cubic centimeters. However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The weight or mass of a right circular cylinder formula computes the mass of a right cylinder as a function of the mean density (mD) of the composition and the volume calculated using the radius (r) of the base and the height (h). The default results will be in kilograms but can be converted to any of the system provided units. The formula for the weight of a cylinder is:
Wt=[π⋅r2⋅h]⋅mD

Metals are materials characterized by its physical and chemical properties, primarily its ability to conduct electricity and heat, its luster or shine when polished, its malleability (ability to be hammered or pressed into shapes), and its ductility (ability to be drawn into wires). Metals typically have a crystalline structure and are found naturally in solid form (with the exception of mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature).
Metals Densities

Metals make up a large portion of the periodic table of elements, with examples including iron, copper, gold, silver, aluminum, and titanium, among many others. Metals are essential in various industries such as construction, manufacturing, electronics, transportation, and energy production due to their unique properties and versatility.
Metals are generally dense materials. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Metals tend to have high densities because their atoms are closely packed together in a crystalline structure. This close packing of atoms contributes to their characteristic properties such as strength, malleability, and conductivity.
However, it's important to note that the density of metals can vary widely depending on factors such as their elemental composition, crystal structure, and any impurities present. For example, some metals like lead and platinum are denser than others like aluminum or magnesium.
The Weight of Metal Calculator contains functions and data to compute the weight (mass) of metal objects based on their size, shape and the density of the metal. The Weight of Metal functions are:
