How to Calculate weight of Galvanized Iron (GI) strip:

To calculate the weight of a Galvanized Iron (GI) strip, you need to use the formula that incorporates the density of the material, along with the dimensions of the strip. Here’s how you can do it:

Formula:

Weight (kg)=Thickness (mm)×Width (mm)×Length (m)×Density (kg/m³)Weight (kg)=Thickness (mm)×Width (mm)×Length (m)×Density (kg/m³)

Constants:

• Density of Galvanized Iron: Approximately 7850 kg/m³

Steps:

1. Convert all measurements to consistent units: Make sure the thickness and width are in meters (1 mm = 0.001 m) for uniformity with the density’s unit.
2. Calculate the Volume:
   • Volume = Thickness in meters × Width in meters × Length in meters
   • Convert the thickness and width from millimeters to meters by dividing them by 1000.
3. Multiply the Volume by the Density:
   • The weight of the GI strip in kilograms = Volume × Density

Example Calculation:

Let’s say you have a GI strip that is 2 mm thick, 50 mm wide, and 10 meters long. Here’s how to calculate its weight:

1. Convert thickness and width to meters:
   • Thickness = 2 mm = 0.002 meters
   • Width = 50 mm = 0.05 meters
2. Calculate the Volume:
   • Volume = 0.002 m × 0.05 m × 10 m = 0.001 m³
3. Calculate the Weight:
   • Weight = 0.001 m³ × 7850 kg/m³ = 7.85 kg

So, the weight of this GI strip would be 7.85 kilograms.
