1. What is SS 304 Rectangular Tube Weight Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the weight of stainless steel 304 rectangular tubes based on dimensions and material density.

Purpose: It helps engineers, architects, and fabricators determine the weight of SS 304 rectangular tubing for structural calculations and material planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ W = \rho \times (L \times W \times t) \]

Where:

\( W \) — Weight (kilograms)
\( \rho \) — Density of SS 304 (kg/m³, default 7930)
\( L \) — Length of tube (meters)
\( W \) — Width of tube (meters)
\( t \) — Thickness of tube (meters)

Explanation: The volume is calculated by multiplying length, width and thickness, then multiplied by material density to get weight.

3. Importance of Weight Calculation

Details: Accurate weight estimation is crucial for structural integrity, transportation planning, and cost estimation in construction and manufacturing projects.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the dimensions in meters and density (default 7930 kg/m³ for SS 304). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the density of SS 304?
A: The standard density of stainless steel 304 is 7930 kg/m³ (7.93 g/cm³).

Q2: How do I convert the result to pounds?
A: Multiply the result in kg by 2.20462 to get pounds.

Q3: Does this account for hollow sections?
A: No, this calculates solid rectangular volume. For hollow tubes, subtract the inner volume.

Q4: What are typical SS 304 rectangular tube sizes?
A: Common sizes range from 20×10mm to 200×100mm with thicknesses from 1mm to 6mm.

Q5: Why use SS 304 rectangular tubes?
A: They offer excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and aesthetic appeal for architectural and structural applications.
