The Weight of Tool Steel Flats calculator computes the average weight of steel flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 7810 kg/m3 for tool steel flats.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (n) Number of flats
- (L) Length of the flats
- (W) Width of the flats
- (T) Thickness of the flats
- (ρ) Density of metal
Weight of Tool Steel Flats (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
Tool steel are high-quality, carbon and alloy steels. They are commonly used to make cutters, reamers, bits, and other components used for machining metals, plastics, and wood. Tool steels contain carbide-forming elements such as chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and tungsten in different amounts depending on the type of steel alloy.
The formula for the weight of metal flats is as follows:
M = ρ • n • L • W • T
where:
- M is the mass or weight of metal flats
- ρ is the density of the metal
- n is the number of flats
- L is the length of the flats
- W is the width of the flats
- T is the thickness of the flats
