Have you ever wondered how much a piece of steel really weighs? In this article, we’ll explore the weight of MS channel steel and provide a handy chart for quick reference. Learn how to calculate steel weight accurately and why it’s crucial for your projects. Get ready to enhance your metalworking knowledge!
The following table provides the theoretical weight of mild steel (MS) channel sections in kilograms per meter (kg/m). These values are based on standard density calculations and do not account for manufacturing tolerances or surface treatments.
If your required channel steel size is not listed in the table below, you can utilize our integrated steel weight calculator for precise online calculations. This tool considers factors such as material grade, dimensional variations, and specific gravity to provide accurate weight estimations for custom sizes and non-standard sections.
Understanding the weight of channel steel is crucial for various aspects of metal fabrication, including:
Note: Actual weights may vary slightly due to manufacturing processes and material composition. For critical applications, it’s recommended to verify weights through physical measurement or consult with the steel manufacturer for certified weight data.
