How to Use
- Select Calculator Type: Choose between UPN channels or American standard sections
- Pick Profile: Select your specific size from the dropdown (e.g., "UPN 120" or "№ 14")
- Enter Length: Input member length in mm or inches
- Set Quantity: Default is 1 (adjust for multiple pieces)
- Calculate: Get instant total weight in your preferred units
Calculation Principle
The calculators use the formula:
Total Weight = (Weight per Meter × Length × Quantity)
Where:
- Weight per Meter values are pre-defined for each profile
- For imperial units: 1 kg/m = 0.671969 lbs/ft
- Length is auto-converted to:
- Meters (for metric: mm→m)
- Feet (for imperial: in→ft)
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between UPN and American standard channels?
A: UPN follows European norms (DIN 1026), while American standards follow US sizing conventions.
Q: Are the weights accurate for stainless steel?
A: Results are for standard carbon steel (7850 kg/m³). Multiply by ~1.015 for stainless steel.
Q: Can I calculate partial lengths (e.g., 2.5m)?
A: Yes! Enter any decimal length value.
Q: Why don't you show cross-sectional area?
A: Focus is on weight calculation. Area values are in our database but not displayed.
Q: How often is the database updated?
A: Our data reflects current industry standards (DIN and ASTM).
Q: Is there an API for this calculator?
A: Not currently, but contact us for high-volume calculation needs.
