How to Use the Aluminum Weight Calculator
This guide will walk you through using the Aluminum Weight Calculator to determine the weight of various aluminum shapes based on their dimensions and quantity. Follow these steps to get accurate results.
Step 1: Selecting the Shape
Begin by selecting the shape of the aluminum material you wish to calculate. This is a required input.
- Click on the Select Shape dropdown menu.
- Choose from the available options: Rectangle/Square Bar, Round Bar/Tube, Sheet/Plate, or Square/Rectangular Tube.
Step 2: Entering Dimensions
Based on the shape you selected, you will need to provide the necessary dimensions. Ensure that all dimensions are inputted in inches, and adhere to the minimum values as specified.
- For a Rectangle/Square Bar or Sheet/Plate, enter the Length, Width, and Thickness.
- For a Round Bar/Tube, enter the Length and Diameter.
- For a Square/Rectangular Tube, enter the Length, Width, Thickness, and Wall Thickness.
Ensure each field is completed as required, with a minimum value of 0.01 inches and a step of 0.001 for accuracy.
Step 3: Entering Quantity
Specify the number of pieces for which you wish to calculate the total weight. Input this number in the Quantity field.
- This is a required entry, and it must be a whole number with a minimum value of 1.
Step 4: View the Results
Once all necessary fields are completed, the calculator will automatically provide the results in the form of three fields:
- Volume: The calculated volume in cubic inches based on the dimensions provided.
- Weight per Piece: The weight of one piece of the specified aluminum shape, calculated using the density of aluminum.
- Total Weight: The full weight for all pieces, factoring in the quantity entered.
The weights will be presented in pounds with two decimal place precision for accuracy.
This concludes the guide on using the Aluminum Weight Calculator. Double-check all inputs to ensure calculations are based on accurate measurements for reliable results.
