Weight of Tool Steel Flats

The Weight of Tool Steel Flats calculator computes the average weight of steel flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 7810 kg/m³ for tool steel flats.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (n) Number of flats
• (L) Length of the flats
• (W) Width of the flats
• (T) Thickness of the flats
• (ρ) Density of metal

Weight of Tool Steel Flats (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

Tool steel are high-quality, carbon and alloy steels. They are commonly used to make cutters, reamers, bits, and other components used for machining metals, plastics, and wood. Tool steels contain carbide-forming elements such as chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and tungsten in different amounts depending on the type of steel alloy.

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

         M = ρ • n • L • W • T

where:

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

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.
