Metal Calculator Plus
Heng Jia Liang
Metal Calculator allows you to calculate the weight and volume of shaped metal or alloy.
Features:
• Various shapes such as rectangle, square, sphere, octagon, bars, pipes, steel sheet & plate etc.
• Support for both Metric and Imperial measurements.
• 100+ popular metal/alloy include such as steel, aluminium, gold, titanium, copper, silver and more.
• Estimate metal shape preview.
• Custom object density supported.
• Slider adjust object parameter or type in for custom object parameter.
• Densities of Metals and Alloy List include.
• Instant result calculation.
* To set a custom value that is limited by a slider, enter a custom value by tapping the value.
A metal is a material (an element, compound, or alloy) that is typically hard when in solid state, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). Around 90 of the 118 elements in the periodic table are metals; the others are nonmetals or metalloids, though elements near the boundaries of each category have been assigned variably to either (hence the lack of an exact count). Some elements appear in both metallic and non-metallic forms.
Density of steel. The acknowledged density of mild steel is 7.85 g/cm³ (0.284 lbs/in³). Depending on the alloy elements added to manufactured specifications this can vary between 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm³ (0.280 and 0.291 lbs/in³).
The density of aluminium is 2.70 g/cm³, about 1/3 that of steel, much lower than other commonly encountered metals, making aluminium parts easily identifiable through their lightness. Aluminium's low density compared to most other metals arises from the fact that its nuclei are much lighter, while difference in the unit cell size does not compensate for this difference.
The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³ at room temperature. Copper alloys are widely used due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivities, outstanding corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication.
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume
Density Equation for these Calculations:
p equal mV
Where:
p = density
m = mass
V = volume
Density Conversions:
For kg/m³, multiply density in lb/in³ by 27679.9
For density in lb/ft³, multiply lb/in³ by 1728
For g/cm³, multiply density in lb/in³ by 27.68
