Sheet Steel Area to Weight

Sheet Steel Weight can be calculated by following formula :

  • L = Length in mm
  • W = Width in mm
  • T = Thickness in mm
  • S = Specific material density
Weight = L/1000 * W/1000 * T * S

SS sheet : Length (Mtr) X Width (Mtr) X Thick(mm) X 8 = Weight Per Piece

Density, Melting Temperature of various Metals

Meterial Density is dependent on how material atoms are packed together. Higher the tightness of Atom package in Metals, higher the Weight. Density is calculated simply by dividing the mass (m) of an object by its volume (V).

ρ = kg / m3

    What is Energy Control Program ?

    Energy Control Program makes sure that Equipment is isolated from energy source and made inoperative before planned Service/Maintenance.

    Burns caused by Arc Flash

    Degree of severity of burns is based on size and depth of the burn on human body. Fire, steam, Radiation, chemicals, Electric Arc, can cause burns.

    What causes Arc Flash?

    Arc flash occurs when electrical current becomes uncontrolled, results in release of energy that ionizes air, releasing enormous heat, light, sound.
