Calculating the Weight of an MS Channel
Mild Steel (MS) channels are recognized by their distinctive U-shaped design, crafted with specific side measurements and thickness. These channels feature two primary components: the flange, which is the horizontal section, and the web base, which is the vertical section on the top. The flange and web work together to provide structural support, making MS channels ideal for various construction applications. One unique aspect of MS channels is their uneven side dimensions, which means the width of the flange and the height of the web can differ. For example, a channel with dimensions of 100×50×5 mm has a web height of 100 mm, a flange width of 50 mm, and a consistent thickness of 5 mm.
Mild Steel Channel Size and Weight Calculation
An MS channel consists of two main parts: the flange (the horizontal section) and the web (the vertical section). These channels come in a range of sizes, from 75×40×4.8 mm to 400×100×8.8 mm. The weight of an MS channel is measured in kilograms per meter (kg/m) or kilograms per foot (kg/ft). Naturally, larger channels will weigh more, while smaller channels will weigh less.
Example of MS Channel Dimensions
For example, consider an MS channel with dimensions of 100×50×5 mm. Here, the web measures 100 mm, the flange measures 50 mm, and the thickness is 5 mm. This combination of measurements determines the overall weight of the channel, which is essential for structural planning and material estimation.
Mild Steel Channel Unit Weight
To calculate the unit weight of a Mild Steel (MS) channel, use the formula: weight = volume × density, where the density of steel is 7850 kg/m³. First, determine the volume by multiplying the height of the web, the width of the flange, and the thickness of the channel. Then, multiply this volume by the steel’s density to find the unit weight. This method provides an accurate measurement of the channel’s weight, which is crucial for various structural applications.
Mild Steel Channel Weight in kg per Meter
MS Web Volume
MS Channel Size = 100×50×5 mm
Web Depth = 100 mm =0.1m
Web Thickness = 5 mm=0.005 m
Web Length = 1 m
Volume = l×b×h
Volume = 0.1×0.005×1 m3
Web Volume = 0.0005 m3
Two flange Volume
MS Channel Size = 100×50×5 mm
Flange Width = 50_5 mm =45mm=0.045 m
Flange Thickness = 5 mm=0.005 m
Flange Length = 1 m
Volume = l×b×h
Volume = 0.045×0.005×1 m3
Flange Volume = 0.000225 m3
Two Flange Volume = 0.000225×2 m3
Two Flange Volume of = 0.000450 m3
MS channel Total volume
Total volume = volume of flange + volume of web
Total volume = 0.000450 + 0.0005 m3
Total volume =0.000950m3
4) Weight of MS channel
Weight = volume× density
Volume = 0.000950 m3
Density of steel = 7850 kg/m3
Weight = 0.000950m3×7850 kg/m3
Weight of MS channel = 7.45 kg/m
Ans: MS channel unit weight will be 7.45 kg
FAQs
How do you calculate the weight of an ISMC channel?
Calculate the unit weight of an ISMC channel by multiplying web height, flange width, and thickness to get volume, then multiply by the density of steel (7850 kg/m³).
