The Weight of Aluminum Square Bars calculator computes the average weight of aluminum bars based on the number and dimensions of the bar, and an average density of 2700 kg/m3 for aluminum bars.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (n) Number of bars
- (L) Length of the bars
- (W) Width or Thickness of the bars
- (ρ) Density of metal
Weight of Aluminum Square Bars (m): The function returns the weight in pounds. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
Aluminum is widely used for fabrication projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance is a concern. It is generally regarded as an excellent material for welding, good for machining or grinding, and poor for bending or forming.
The formula for the weight of metal bars is as follows:
M = ρ • n • L • W • W
where:
- M is the mass or weight of metal bars
- ρ is the density of the metal
- n is the number of bars
- L is the length of the bars
- W is the width or thickness of the bars
Welding Calculators:
- Bend Allowance Calculator: Computes Bend Allowance based on the thickness of the material, bend angle, inside radius, and K factor.
- Weight of Aluminum Square Bars: Computes the average weight of aluminum bars based on the number and dimensions of the bar, and an average density of 2700 kg/m3 for aluminum bars.
- Aluminum Wire Deposition Rate Calculator: Estimates the rate at which a welding wire is converted into weld metal using the electrode diameter, wire feed speed, and electrode efficiency.
- Welding Heat Input Calculator: Estimates the amount of heat or thermal energy that is introduced to a material when a weld is made using the arc voltage, current, and travel speed.
- Groove Weld Potential Root Cracking Calculator: Determines whether or not the groove weld has a potential for root cracking based on the width-to-depth ratio (1.0-1.4).
- Weight of Hot Rolled Steel Flats: Computes the average weight of steel flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 7800 kg/m3 for steel flats.
- Modulus of Elasticity for Martensitic Stainless Steel: The measure of stainless steel's tendency to deform elastically when a force is applied.
- Brinell Hardness of Gray Cast Iron: Measure of gray cast iron's ability to resist permanent indentation deformation.
- Weight of Brass Rounds: Computes the weight of any number of brass round bars based on the number of rods, their dimensions, and an average density of 8,600 kg/m3 for brass.
