Rolled metal strip weight calculator

Steel strip is a type of rolled steel with a solid cross-section in the shape of a rectangle. For the manufacture of these metal products, steels are used - carbon steel of ordinary quality and high-quality, low-alloy, alloyed. Strip products are in demand as a semi-finished product for the production of pipes, springs, bent profiles, in the furniture industry, interior design, for the manufacture of fences, canopies and other frame structures. To increase the anti-corrosion characteristics, carbon steel products are coated with a protective zinc layer.

Dimensions and requirements according to GOST 103-2006

The geometric parameters of a strip with a cross section of 40x4 mm are regulated by GOST 103-2006. The maximum permissible deviations in the cross-section depend on the rolling accuracy and vary depending on the basic dimensions.

In accordance with GOST 103-2006, hot-rolled strip is supplied with different levels of rolling accuracy requirements:

• high (A)
• increased (B)
• regular (B).

This index is followed by the designation of the dimensional parameter: width, thickness, length. For example:

• BS – strip with increased width accuracy (+0.3 ... -0.9 mm)
• BT – usual thickness accuracy (+0.2 ... -0.3 mm).

Rolling accuracy is determined depending on the thickness and width of the strip. The finer the grade, the more precise the adjustment of rolling equipment and the higher the requirements for dimensional accuracy. A strip with a cross section of 40x4 mm belongs to the group of profiles with high accuracy rates.

Production Features

The main method of producing these metal products is hot rolling. The range of hot-rolled strip is regulated by the following GOSTs:

• 4405-75 – “Forged and hot-rolled metal products”;
• 103-2006 – “General purpose products”;
• 7419-90 – “Semi-finished product for springs”;
• 82-70 – “Universal broadband rental.”

If it is necessary to improve the dimensional accuracy of metal products and the quality of their surface, hot-rolled steel is subjected to cold deformation.

A less common method for producing strip products is cutting hot-rolled or cold-rolled sheets using guillotine shears. Most often, this option is used for single or small-scale production of metal products.

Strip length 40x4 mm

The regulated length of strip steel 40x4 mm depends on the type of steel used.

Strip made from carbon steels of ordinary quality (St2...4 kp/ps/sp), low-alloy (for example, 09G2S) and phosphorus steels (for example, 08YUP) is supplied in the form of rods with a length of 2 to 12 meters.

Rods made of alloy and carbon quality steels (08, 10, 20, etc.) should have a length of 2 - 6 m.

Strip supply can be:

• measured length (letter index MD)
• multiple of measured length (CD)
• unmeasured length (ND).

Steel strip 40x4

Hot-rolled steel strip 40x4 , like many metal strips, is widely in demand and is used for installation and strengthening of structures, fences, stairs, gratings, balconies; like a ground strip . This strip is optimal for the production of various fasteners in construction, for making connections, spacers, springs and cutting tools, for lifting devices. It is also used in industry, architecture, car, machine tool, instrument and mechanical engineering, energy, and agriculture. This strip is most often completely replaceable with: strip 40x3 , steel strip 40x5 , 40x6 and 40x8. Protect from lightning using galvanized strip 40x4 . Galvanized steel strip also prevents corrosion and chemical attack and is used for decorative purposes. From a 40x4 metal strip it is possible to produce grooves and other types of metal products: angles, channels, beams. The 40x4 strip is both flexible and reliable in use, it is relatively lightweight and easy to process.

Such rolled metal is produced using hot and cold deformation on special mills from slabs that are passed through shafts. Our organization supplies GOST 103 2006 hot-rolled steel strip 40x4 , it is more durable and rigid than the cold-rolled version. GOST steel strip is always available in our warehouses . It is very rare that strip products are imported according to technical specifications.

The 4x40 steel strip offered by our company GOST 103-76 strip standard . Carbon construction steel 3 or low-alloy steel 09G2S is used.

According to the surface group, steel strip 40x4 GOST is produced in three groups: 1gp, 2gp and 3gp. Also, strip metal is distinguished by production accuracy: increased and normal accuracy.

Such metal is supplied from factories and manufacturing plants in measured lengths, unmeasured, measure + unmeasured and multiple measures. Basically, the length of the strip is 40x4 - 6 meters. We can cut sheets of the appropriate thickness into guillotines according to the width of the sheets to obtain such rolled metal, for example, if all the finished strip in the warehouse is in reserve.

The weight of steel strip 40x4 is 1.26 kg per linear meter.

Sometimes a calculation is required from weight in meters based on one ton. 1 ton strip 40x4 - 793.65 meters.

Only high-quality new rolled metal products are provided directly from manufacturers. Rolled products are sold wholesale and retail from one strip of 40x4 strip. To buy a steel strip 40x4 in our company, you need to take an invoice from our managers, we work on 100% prepayment and can cut and assemble this product in advance in order to save your time on loading.

Our sales staff will help you calculate the number of meters or kg you need, the cost of a strip per meter or one piece. The length of this standard strip size allows you to transport this metal in a gazelle or Valdai without ordering a 12-meter transport.

Weight of 1 meter strip 40x4

1 linear meter of strip with a cross section of 40x4 mm has an estimated weight of 1.256 kg. The term “design mass” means that it is determined by nominal (tabular) section dimensions, with an accepted steel density of 7.85 g/cm3 and is a reference value.

Rolling accuracy significantly affects the permissible dimensions of the strip section. For normal accuracy (VSh and VT), the cross-section at minus tolerances (-1.0 mm and -0.5 mm, respectively) is reduced by 14.5%. If the reference weight of a linear meter for a nominal section is 1.256 kg, then with maximum minus tolerances, without going beyond the requirements of GOST 103-2006, the weight of a 40x4 mm strip will be 1.074 kg per linear meter.

GOST 103-2006. Rolled long steel hot-rolled strip

According to GOST, the strip is divided into the following positions. Separation by purpose:

• OH – general purpose band;
• GSHG – strip for hot stamping of nuts;
• KhShG – strip for cold stamping of nuts;

Separation by quality of workmanship:

• Increased rolling thickness accuracy - BT1, BT2, BT3;
• rolled thickness accuracy is normal – VT1, VT2, VT3;
• Increased rolling accuracy in width - BSh1, BShch2, BSh3;
• Rolled width accuracy is normal – VSh1, VSh2, VSh3.

Division by production length:

• measured length – MD;
• measured with unmeasured length MD1 (can be no more than 5% of the batch);
• length is a multiple of the measured length - KD;
• length multiple of measured unmeasured length – KD1;
• unmeasured length - ND;
• length that has a limitation within an unmeasured OD;
• produced in rolls - RD.

The strip is supplied in a roll as agreed with the customer.
For cold-rolled steel strip there is its own GOST 503-81. According to this GOST, the following material is used for the manufacture of this rolled product:

• extra soft, designated OM;
• soft, designated – M;
• semi-hardened, designation, respectively, PN;
• cold-worked, designated – N;
• highly hardened, designated – VN.

If you need to find out the mass of 1 linear meter of strip, it can be taken from GOST 103-2006 for hot-rolled strip, taking the average steel density to be the same for both types of strip, 7.85 g/cm3. If the consumer needs to obtain other geometric dimensions of the strip, it can be manufactured according to a pre-agreed specification. According to GOST 9.307-89, strip metal is galvanized.

Application of rolled strip

As stated above, strip is one of the most commonly used types of rental products. It is used both individually and for the manufacture of various types of structures, such as T-beams or I-beams, angles, and channels. It can be a blank for cutting out various parts, such as nuts. For this purpose, there are different grades of steel from which the strip is made, which give direction in its use for the manufacture of various parts. It is used in construction, both as constituent elements of metal structures, mortgages, and to create non-standard architectural structures. Used in the energy industry, in the furniture industry, in this case galvanized steel strip is used. Usually these sizes are 40x4, 25x4, sometimes 50x5 or 30x4 mm. Used in mechanical engineering and the automotive industry. It is easier to indicate the area where it is not used.

Enterprises that produce rolled metal products such as strip

Russia has a large number of metallurgical plants and combines, both large and small. They are located both in the European part and beyond the Urals.

Production of rolled metal strip

The Lysvensky Metallurgical Plant produces strip that is used in the electrical industry, that is, strip coated with zinc using the electrolytic process. It should be noted that the plant’s products have received both international and industry quality certificates. The metallurgical plant located in St. Petersburg also produces strip, while exporting it to Western and Eastern Europe and the CIS countries. The Zlatoust Electrometallurgical Plant in the Chelyabinsk region produces different types of strips made of special steel, which are used as knives for equipment. In this case, the strip is produced by cold working using forging or rollers. The Vladimir Precision Alloys Plant produces hot-rolled and cold-rolled strip with special properties. The products have international certification and are of high quality. The Izhevsk Metallurgical Plant produces, among other rolled metal products, strip using the cold rolling method. Strips of tin-phosphorus and tin-zinc bronze are produced at the Kaluga Metallurgical Plant for the production of non-ferrous metals. The strip is also produced at the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant, at the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, and springs for buses, trolleybuses and trucks are produced from the strip at the Chusovsky Metallurgical Plant from the Perm Territory. In order to order the required volume of rolled metal, in this case strip, it is very important to make the correct calculation, that is, the weight of the strip for placing an order. Of course, you can do this manually, but it is much easier to do it using our online calculator. The streak calculator is very easy to use and instead of taking a long time to calculate the streak, you can do it within 1-2 minutes.

Calculation of steel strip weight

Calculate the weight of the steel strip

It is necessary first of all in order to determine what kind of load it will give to the entire structure. But this is far from the only reason. Checking all the main indicators for building materials is important, for example, before a tax office visit. Any inconsistencies in the documents will be used against you.

And accurate information on the weight of the steel strip will help you understand how to organize the storage of such material. After all, it puts a certain load on the shelves or racks. And if you do not take this load into account correctly, everything can collapse.

Why else do you need to calculate the weight of a steel strip?

Carrying out such calculations is important when you need to dispose of defective material. One of the obvious solutions to the problem is scrap metal. Firstly, this way there will be no claims against you regarding pollution of the environment by various construction or production wastes.

Secondly, scrap metal usually pays well. So weight data also helps to understand whether it will be possible to make money or, at a minimum, recoup the removal of illiquid goods from a specific territory.

Accurate indicators for any material are often needed by students of various educational institutions who plan to become builders, planners or designers in the future. It is important for them to be able not only to do calculations on their own, but also to check each other’s work. This helps to avoid serious problems in the future.

Construction calculators on our website

Please note: on our website in the corresponding section there are many calculators that relate to the construction industry. Their use helps to carry out construction work correctly, create competent projects or estimates. And with the help of such calculators you can control the work of contractors.

Moreover, you can calculate the weight of a steel square in literally one minute, or even in less time. What takes the most time is entering the data, as well as checking the correctness of the information. But you can’t do without the latter: it’s a shame to make a serious mistake due to a banal typo.

Using the same scheme, you can calculate the weight of a steel sheet. Thanks to correct calculations, there will be no fear that the structure will not withstand pressure, for example.

How to calculate the weight of a steel strip?

Performing the necessary calculations is quite simple. First, you need to indicate what exactly you are going to calculate. Then, don’t forget to indicate the steel grade. The width and thickness of the tape also matter. However, as well as length and quantity.

You can skip the “cost” column if this indicator does not interest you. But if you want to understand the price, you can simply indicate the cost per ton. Then you will know how much you will need to pay for the amount of material that interests you.

To get the result you just need to click on the button. The data will appear at the top. They can be copied, saved or printed.

Pay attention to the accuracy column.
It is responsible for the number of digits after the decimal point. If you select 0, the data will be rounded. And, accordingly, vice versa: the higher the accuracy indicator, the more digits after the decimal point the calculator will produce during calculations. Please note: our resource is constantly and actively developing. New calculators appear regularly. So take a look: a lot of interesting things await you!
