Weight of Aluminum Square Bars

The Weight of Aluminum Square Bars calculator computes the average weight of aluminum bars based on the number and dimensions of the bar, and an average density of 2700 kg/m³ for aluminum bars.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (n) Number of bars
• (L) Length of the bars
• (W) Width or Thickness of the bars
• (ρ) Density of metal

Weight of Aluminum Square Bars (m): The function returns the weight in pounds. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu. 

The Math / Science

Aluminum is widely used for fabrication projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance is a concern. It is generally regarded as an excellent material for welding, good for machining or grinding, and poor for bending or forming.

The formula for the weight of metal bars is as follows:

         M = ρ • n • L • W • W 

where:

• M is the mass or weight of metal bars
• ρ is the density of the metal
• n is the number of bars
• L is the length of the bars
• W is the width or thickness of the bars

Welding Calculators:

• Bend Allowance Calculator: Computes Bend Allowance based on the thickness of the material, bend angle, inside radius, and K factor.
• Weight of Aluminum Square Bars: Computes the average weight of aluminum bars based on the number and dimensions of the bar, and an average density of 2700 kg/m3 for aluminum bars.
• Aluminum Wire Deposition Rate Calculator:  Estimates the rate at which a welding wire is converted into weld metal using the electrode diameter, wire feed speed, and electrode efficiency.
• Welding Heat Input Calculator: Estimates the amount of heat or thermal energy that is introduced to a material when a weld is made using the arc voltage, current, and travel speed.
• Groove Weld Potential Root Cracking Calculator: Determines whether or not the groove weld has a potential for root cracking based on the width-to-depth ratio (1.0-1.4).
• Weight of Hot Rolled Steel Flats: Computes the average weight of steel flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 7800 kg/m3 for steel flats.
• Modulus of Elasticity for Martensitic Stainless Steel: The measure of stainless steel's tendency to deform elastically when a force is applied.
• Brinell Hardness of Gray Cast Iron: Measure of gray cast iron's ability to resist permanent indentation deformation.
• Weight of Brass Rounds: Computes the weight of any number of brass round bars based on the number of rods, their dimensions, and an average density of 8,600 kg/m³ for brass.
