Something to get the weight per-foot of various steel shape like flat bar, tube, angle stock etc???



I really need a Machinery Handbook....

steel weighs 490#/cubic ft.
that's .283lbs per cubic inch.

Well now..... that was real helpful. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

go to matweb.com

it's obviously of no use if you don't know how to use a calculator.
:flipoff2:
I know some here can only count to 20 without dropping knickers.

I Told you to go to AISC.org.. or I can bring home my LRFD manual for ya:flipoff2:

actually, that *can* be kind of usefull, but of course then I would need to calculate the volume of the material I'm usuing (not *that* difficult), to find the weight per foot or per inch of the material...

works, but I was kind of looking for a lazy man's chart that says "1.25 x 1.25 x .25 angle weight xlbs./ft...."..... you know, lazy math :D



Goat1: matweb.com is kind of cool, but I was surprised that some material shapes weren't in there little calculator... like angle, or channel....


they do have a TUBE finction though... figure out how much tonnage the new cage is going to add... ;)




on a related note.... I will need to do some load calculations on an I-beam for my shop..... been a while since I done those. Any hints??
