Stainless Steel Rod Weight Formula:
| From: | To: |
The stainless steel rod weight formula calculates the weight of a cylindrical rod based on its diameter and length. The constant 0.289 represents the density of stainless steel in pounds per cubic inch.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of the cylinder (πr²h) and multiplies it by the density of stainless steel to get the weight.
Details: Accurate weight calculation is crucial for material estimation, shipping costs, structural calculations, and project planning in construction and manufacturing.
Tips: Enter diameter and length in inches. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the weight in pounds.
Q1: Does this formula work for other materials?
A: No, this uses the specific density of stainless steel (0.289 lbs/in³). Other materials have different densities.
Q2: What if my measurements are in feet or meters?
A: Convert all measurements to inches before using the calculator for accurate results.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is theoretically accurate for solid cylindrical rods of uniform stainless steel composition.
Q4: Does this account for different grades of stainless steel?
A: The density may vary slightly between grades, but 0.289 lbs/in³ is a good average for most common grades.
Q5: Can I calculate metric weights with this?
A: For metric results (kg), you would need to use metric measurements and the appropriate density constant.
