How to Calculate MS Channel Weight
Steel weight calculation becomes seamless with our guide. Here’s how you can manually calculate weight:
Formula
Weight (kg/m) = Volume x Density of Steel (7850 kg/m³)
Steps to Calculate
- Measure the Web height, Flange width, Thickness, and Length.
- Use the formula to calculate weight per meter.
- Multiply the weight per meter by the total length.
Example
For a 100 x 50 x 5mm ISMC, and total length of 12 meters:
- Weight per meter = 9.56 kg/m.
- Total weight = 9.56 x 12 = 114.72 kg.
For quick calculations, use our digital weight calculator.
