Can weight

A can is a closed metal profile with a hollow square or rectangular cross-section. During the production process, a flat steel sheet is gradually deformed and becomes round. The edges are then welded together to form the initial tubular product. During the production process, the mother tube passes through a series of forming stands to form the mother tube into a final square or rectangular shape. In this case, the can is formed. This category of products is a suitable alternative to handmade sections such as gutters, beams and angles in metal frame buildings. The use of steel cans (boxes) plays a very important role in the quality, strength and lightness of steel structures. In addition to all these, it should be said that the weight of the can can play an important role in construction and also at the time of purchase. But how to accurately calculate the weight of the can itself is an important and precise process that also requires high accuracy. In the following, you can obtain the weight of the can using a calculator.

Calculating the weight of a can using the formula

One way to calculate the weight of a can is to use a formula, but this formula requires a series of fixed parameters to calculate the weight of the can. These fixed parameters are the length, width, thickness, and density of the can, all of which are familiar names in obtaining the weight of steel products. But the formula for calculating the weight of the can is given below, where the density of iron is 7.86, and finally the weight in kilograms is obtained:

2 × (can length (m) + can width (m)) × iron density × thickness (mm) × branch length (m) = can weight

It should be noted that in this formula, since the length and width are in meters, there is no need to divide by 1000 in the formula, but if the values were in millimeters, the answer obtained would have to be divided by 1000.

But you need to know that cans are divided into two categories in terms of appearance: rectangular cans (RHS) and square cans (SHS), and for each of these materials, a specific formula can be written and used for such tubes.

Formula for calculating the weight of a rectangular can (RHS)

Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) are a popular choice for mechanical, structural and building applications. They are cost-effective due to their flat surface for joining and other types of construction work. Due to their rectangular shape, this type of hollow section only requires straight cuts when joining to other flat surfaces. RHS also requires minimal edge preparation for welding or joining and can be a good choice in terms of aesthetics due to its clean lines along with structural strength. However, in the case of calculating the weight of a rectangular can (RHS), the formula can be changed to easily obtain the weight of this type of can.

1000/ [2× (can length (mm) + can width (mm)) × iron density × thickness (mm) × branch length (m)] = can weight

Formula for calculating the weight of a square can (SHS)

Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are a compromise between RHS and CHS in terms of properties, appearance and structural behavior. SHS provides an ideal balance of strength, performance and aesthetics for many applications that require all three aspects. SHS has a smooth surface that is also suitable for joining and welding. However, to calculate the weight of this type of can, which has a square structure, the formula can be modified as follows.

1000/ [2× (4 × width of can (mm)) × density of iron × thickness (mm) × length of branch (m)] = weight of can

Application of can weight table
