Rod Iron Weight Calculation
How to Calculate Rod Iron Weight?
To calculate the weight of a rod iron, you can use the values for diameter, length, and material density. Yakup Yılmaz Boru makes your calculations quick and easy with its weight calculation tools.
1. Determine Rod Dimensions
- Diameter (D): Measure the diameter of the rod iron.
- Length (L): Measure the total length of the rod iron.
These measurements must be in meters. If the diameter and length are given in millimeters, convert them to meters (1 mm = 0.001 meter).
2. Determine Material Density
Find out the density of the material used:
- Steel: 7,850 kg/m³
- Aluminum: 2,700 kg/m³
It is important to use the correct density value for an accurate calculation result.
3. Calculation Formula
You can use the following formula to calculate the weight of a rod iron:
Weight (kg) = (π / 4) × D² × L × Density
Here:
- D: Diameter of the rod iron (meter)
- L: Length (meter)
- Density: Material-dependent density (kg/m³)
- π: Approximately 3.14159
4. Example Calculation
Example:
- Diameter (D): 0.02 meters (20 mm)
- Length (L): 2 meters
- Density: 7,850 kg/m³ (for steel)
Let's plug it into the formula:
Weight = (π / 4) × (0.02²) × 2 × 7,850
Let's calculate step by step:
(0.02 × 0.02 = 0.0004)
((π / 4) × 0.0004 = 0.00031416)
(0.00031416 × 2 = 0.00062832)
(0.00062832 × 7,850 = 4.932252)
Result: The weight of the rod iron ≈ 4.93 kg
5. Important Points
- Material Types: Density varies for different materials. Use the correct density before calculating.
- Units of Measurement: Ensure all measurements are converted to meters.
- Theoretical Results: The calculation result is a theoretical value. Actual weight may be affected by surface imperfections or manufacturing differences.
6. Planning and Project Management
