Steel weighs approximately 489.6 pounds per cubic foot.
To determine the weight per foot of steel for any size of the following sections:
Rounds – (Diameter in inches)2 x 2.670 = Weight per foot in pounds
Squares – (Flat-to-flat size in inches)2 x 3.4 = Weight per foot in pounds
Hexagons – (Flat to flat size in inches)2 x 2.9445 = Weight per foot in pounds
Octagons – (Flat to Flat size in inches)2 x 2.8167 = Weight per foot in pounds
Flats – (Width in inches x Thickness in inches) x 3.4 = Weight per foot in pounds
Aluminum – To determine the weight of aluminum, multiply the steel weight for the shape and size by 0.346.
Brass – To determine the weight of brass, multiply the steel weight for the shape and size by 1.08.
