One of the most important pure and unprocessed parts used as an intermediate product in the steel production chain and various iron sections is called steel ingot. This product can be produced in different shapes according to the needs of various industries. Steel ingots are generally produced in square and rectangular shapes, and the length of each of them is about 6 and 12 meters. The most prominent feature of steel ingots is their easy transportation. Types of steel ingots include billets or ingots (rectangular and square cross-sections), blooms or fabric (ingots) (rectangular and square cross-sections), and slabs or slabs. Billets are mainly used to produce steel sections such as rebar, wire, and belts, blooms are used to make cans, beams, and angles, and slabs are used to produce pipes and sheets. For the production of iron products, the weight, length, and amount of carbon used in the ingot are very important. Therefore, the weight of a steel ingot is very important for people active in the iron market, and they should pay attention to this point when purchasing.

Calculating the weight of a steel ingot with a calculator

As mentioned, steel ingots come in various shapes and are produced by various factories in Iran. Since the amount of raw materials used in this product can vary from factory to factory, its quality and weight can also vary. Therefore, calculating the exact weight of steel ingots produced in different factories can be very important for buyers. You can use the calculator below to get the exact weight of steel ingots .

Formula for calculating the weight of a steel ingot

To obtain the weight of this type of steel through the formula, you can obtain the approximate weight by multiplying the length, width, and height in meters and then multiplying by the specific gravity of iron, which is 7.85. If we want to obtain the result in kilograms, we must multiply the result by 1000. The exact formula for calculating the weight of this product is:

Iron density ⨯ Ingot height (m) ⨯ Ingot width (m) ⨯ Ingot length (m) = Ingot weight (in tons)

When using the formula, you should note that the ingots are 6 or 12 meters long.

Application of steel ingot weight and specification table

Some buyers of steel ingots think that steel ingots are a specialized product and therefore cannot obtain their exact weight and specifications. It should be said that by using the formula for calculating the weight of steel ingots or using its weight table, it is possible to achieve the standardization of the weight of various types of steel ingots in the shortest possible time and with complete confidence.
