Steel Square Tubing Weight Calculator

What is a Steel Square Tubing Weight Calculator?

A Steel Square Tubing Weight Calculator is a tool used to estimate the weight of a piece of steel square tubing based on its dimensions (side length and wall thickness) and the density of steel.

It helps in determining the weight of steel tubing for various applications.

Why Use a Steel Square Tubing Weight Calculator?

This calculator is valuable for engineers, fabricators, and anyone working with steel square tubing to understand the weight of the material.

Which is important for structural and load-bearing considerations, transportation, and cost estimation.

How to Use a Steel Square Tubing Weight Calculator:

1. Enter the side length of the steel square tubing in inches.
2. Enter the wall thickness of the tubing in inches.
3. Click the "Calculate Tubing Weight" button.
4. The calculator will display the estimated weight of the steel square tubing in pounds.

Example Calculation:

• Side Length: 4 inches
• Wall Thickness: 0.25 inches

Estimated Steel Square Tubing Weight = 0.25 pounds/inch³ (density of mild steel) * [(4 inches * 4 inches) - (4 inches - 2 * 0.25 inches) * (4 inches - 2 * 0.25 inches)] * 0.25 inches = 0.27 pounds

In this example, a piece of steel square tubing with a side length of 4 inches and a wall thickness of 0.25 inches would weigh approximately 3.54 pounds.
