Steel Weight Chart in Construction

Steel is one of the most commonly used building materials in industrial and residential construction. The market offers various types of steel, such as box steel, structural steel, round steel, U-shaped steel, etc. Therefore, understanding the specific weight of steel will help customers accurately determine the required quantity, optimizing construction costs.

Distinguishing Between Density and Specific Weight

The weight of an object is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on it. The formula for calculating specific weight is as follows:

Specific Weight = Density × 9.81

• The unit of specific weight is kN (kilonewton), while the unit of density is kg (kilogram).

Formula for Calculating Steel Weight

The weight of steel is determined by the following formula:

Weight (kg) = 7850 × Length (L) × Cross-sectional Area

Where:

• 7850: Density of steel (kg/m³)
• L: Length of the steel piece (m)
• Cross-sectional area: Depends on the length and shape of the steel

With this formula, customers can calculate the weight of any steel piece if its length and shape are known.
