Weight Formulas

ROUND ROD
Square of diameter X 9.42 X density of alloy = weight per lineal foot in pounds.
SQUARE BAR
Square of one side X 12 X density of alloy = weight per lineal foot in pounds.
HEXAGON ROD
Square of distance across flats X 10.4 X density of alloy = weight per lineal foot.
RECTANGULAR BAR
Thickness X width X 12 X density of alloy = weight per lineal foot in pounds.
ROUND TUBE
37.7 X density of alloy X wall thickness X outside diameter minus wall thickness = weight per lineal foot in pounds.
SQUARE TUBE
1.27 X the weight of a round tube of the same wall thickness, and of diameter equal to the distance across the flats of the square tube = weight per lineal foot.
SHEET
Thickness X 144 X density of alloy = weight per square foot in pounds.
STRIPS AND ROLLS
Thickness X width X 12 X density of alloy = weight per lineal foot in pounds.
CIRCLES
Square of diameter X thickness X 0.785 X density of alloy = weight of a circle.
RINGS
Outside diameter plus inside diameter X outside diameter minus inside diameter X thickness X 0.785 X density of alloy = weight of ring in pounds.
