Stainless Steel Wire Weight Calculator
Density of stainless steel: 8000 kg/m³ (this can vary slightly depending on the specific type of stainless steel, but 8000 kg/m³ is a common average).
Formula to calculate the weight of the wire:
Weight=Volume×Density\text{Weight} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density}Weight=Volume×Density
Where:
- Volume of the wire (VVV) = π×(d2)2×L\pi \times \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 \times Lπ×(2d)2×L
- ddd = diameter of the wire
- LLL = length of the wire
- π\piπ ≈ 3.14159
Example Table
Below is a table that lists the weight of stainless steel wire for various diameters (in mm) and a fixed length of 1 meter.
| Diameter (mm) | Length (m) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 1 | 0.00157 |
| 1.0 | 1 | 0.00628 |
| 1.5 | 1 | 0.01413 |
| 2.0 | 1 | 0.02512 |
| 2.5 | 1 | 0.03927 |
| 3.0 | 1 | 0.05655 |
| 3.5 | 1 | 0.07698 |
| 4.0 | 1 | 0.10053 |
| 4.5 | 1 | 0.12723 |
| 5.0 | 1 | 0.15708 |
Calculation Example
For a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 2 mm and length of 1 meter:
- Convert diameter to meters: d=2 mm=0.002 md = 2 \text{ mm} = 0.002 \text{ m}d=2 mm=0.002 m
- Calculate the radius: r=d2=0.001 mr = \frac{d}{2} = 0.001 \text{ m}r=2d=0.001 m
- Calculate the cross-sectional area: A=π×r2=3.14159×(0.001)2=3.14159×10−6 m2A = \pi \times r^2 = 3.14159 \times (0.001)^2 = 3.14159 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^2A=π×r2=3.14159×(0.001)2=3.14159×10−6 m2
- Calculate the volume: V=A×L=3.14159×10−6×1=3.14159×10−6 m3V = A \times L = 3.14159 \times 10^{-6} \times 1 = 3.14159 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^3V=A×L=3.14159×10−6×1=3.14159×10−6 m3
- Calculate the weight: Weight=V×Density=3.14159×10−6×8000=0.02512 kg\text{Weight} = V \times \text{Density} = 3.14159 \times 10^{-6} \times 8000 = 0.02512 \text{ kg}Weight=V×Density=3.14159×10−6×8000=0.02512 kg
