Here is the number most people come looking for. The mass of carbon steel plate is 7.85 kg for each square meter and each mm thickness. Therefore, if the plate is 10 mm thicker, it will weight 78.5 kg. Aashish Metals is a provider of a variety of steel products in the industry that assists […]

In the event you find yourself in a stockyard weighing the option between either a seamless pipe or a welded pipe, you will soon understand that there is not just the matter of a seamless pipe being better than a welded one and vice versa. Seamless pipe is produced from solid steel bar without any […]

Stainless steel is not a single metal; it is rather a group of alloys. The grade designation indicates the contents of stainless steel. The grades are based on the content of chromium, nickel and molybdenum, and fall into four groups: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex.  Aashish Metals stocks and supplies these six grades, and this […]

If you only need a number, here is the short version. Stainless steel pipe is sized by nominal pipe size, or NPS, and schedule under ASME B36.19M. The outside diameter is fixed for each NPS, and the schedule sets the wall. Aashish Metals supplies stainless pipe across these sizes, and this chart is built to […]

To design, fabricate, and maintain safe and efficient industrial piping systems, it is important to understand the different types of pipe fittings. Pipe fittings are important elements that are used to change the direction of flow, change line size, branch off into a number of directions, connect between straight pipe sections, or end a line […]

The exact weight of the mild steel (MS) structural sections is important for estimating the structural steel required, calculating the dead loads or shipping freight for fabrication projects. A MS angle weight chart that is accurate, will help the structural engineer, steel fabricators, quantity surveyor and procurement teams, to be able to check on the […]

The exact linear mass of piping is a fundamental requirement when designing piping, structural framing, logistics planning and estimating materials costs. A clear, easy to read stainless steel pipe weight chart enables piping engineers, procurement staff, project estimators and fabricators to quickly verify dead load calculations, calculate freight shipping capacity and specify a structural support […]

A carbon steel grades chart provides piping engineers, procurement and fabricators with a quick reference tool to compare a design specification to an actual product available for purchasing or fabrication before it advances to a fabrication or ordering state. These grades, such as A36, A105, A106 and A516 appear everywhere on drawings and purchase orders […]

The term metal density is applied to the amount of mass in a given volume.The main use of density data is calculating a component’s mass from its volume, or estimating how much material a given quantity will weigh.The density of all metal varies according to the metal it is made of, such as stainless steel, […]

Brass density is different from grade to grade due to variation in proportions of copper, zinc and other alloying elements. The amount of Zinc present will not affect the density of brass metal, but an increase in the Zinc percentage will result in the brass being less dense than an increase in the amount of […]
