Presents - Metal Weight Calculator

 METAL WEIGHT ACCORDING TO
THE SHAPE OF AN OBJECT
• The basic formula for calculating the weight is:

Density (kg/m3) = mass (kg) / volume (m3)

Mass = density x volume
M=pxV

For a specific material, density is always the same but the volume would change depending
upon the shape of the object.
 ROUND BAR
Volume of a round bar = Cross sectional area x length of the bar
V=Ax L
Cross sectional area of round bar = 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 2

Volume of a rectangular bar = length x breadth x height

V=LxBxH
Mass of rectangular bar = density x volume
