Steel in practice
|
Here are some practical data on steel.
Mass
Density of steel: 7.85
A cube of 10 cm edge (one liter) will thus weight 7.85 kilogrammes...
This value corresponds to non-allied steel. The
density varies lightly according to the alloy elements. For
practical needs, generally related to the supplying of matter, no need
for a fantastic accuracy...
Here are some tables which give the mass (in kilograms) for the linear meter
of current sections (round, square, flat part)...
