    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.00623 = Wt. Per Mtr.
    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.0019 = Wt. Per Feet.


  • Weight of S.S. Square Bar
    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.00788 = Wt. Per Mtr.
    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.0024 = Wt. Per Feet.

  • Weight of S.S. Hexagonal Bar

    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.00680 = Wt. Per Mtr.
    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x 0.002072 = Wt. Per Feet.

  • Weight of S.S. Flat Bar

    Width (mm) x Thick (mm) x 0.00798 = Wt. Per Mtr.
    Width (mm) x Thick (mm) x 0.00243 = Wt. Per Feet.

  • Weight of S.S. Sheets & Plates

    Length (Mtrs.) x Width (Mtrs.) x Thick (mm) x 8 = Wt. Per PC
    Length (Feet) x Width (Feet) x Thick (mm) x 3/4 = Wt. Per PC

  • Weight of S.S. Circle

    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x Thick (mm) x 160 = Gms. Per PC
    DIA (mm) x DIA (mm) x Thick (mm) x 0.0000063 = Kg. Per PC

  • Weigth of Brass Pipe / Copper Pipe

    O.D. (mm) - Thick (mm) x Thick (mm) x 0.0260 = Wt. per Mtr.

  • Weight of Lead Pipe

    O.D. (mm) - Weight (mm) x Weight (mm) x 0.0345 = Wt. per Mtr.

  • Weight of Aluminium Pipe

    O.D. (mm) - Thick (mm) x Thick (mm) x 0.0083 = Wt. per Mtr.

  • Weight of Aluminium Sheet

    Length (Mtr.) x Width (Mtr.) x Thick (mm) x 2.69 = Wt. Per PC

  • Weight Conversion of Mtr. To Feet

    Weight per Mtr. 3.2808 = Wt. oer Ft.



  • Barlow's Formula for Calculating Bursting Pressure

    P = 2ST/D or T-DP/2S or S-DP/2T or D = 2ST / P

    P = Bursting Pressure P SI

    S = Tensile Strength of Tube

    T = Wall Thickness ( In inches)

    D = Outside Diameter (In inches)

FORMULA FOR HEALTHY BUSINESS
HONESTY + QUALITY OF GOODS + QUICK SERVICE = GOOD HEALTH OF BUSINESS

Application Of Grades :

SS 301

An austenitic stainless steel, because of its ability to attain high strength and ductility through moderate or serve cold working, can be used for automobile trims, conveyor belts, transportation cars such as railway coaches, metal fixtures for construction proposes roof drainage products, storm door-frames, table-war etc.

SS 304

It is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel. It has excellent corrosion resistance and forming characteristics. Used in chemicals, petro-chemical and fertilizer industries, and as equipment in dairy, food processing, pharmaceutical industries in hospitals, households as kitchen wares, sinks, cutlery, cryogenic vessels and as heat exchangers in air-conditioning, refrigeration, for machinery in paper, pulp, textile beverage sectors etc.

SS 304L

It is used in palace of SS 304 for improved resistance to intere-granular corrosion. It is used for parts and structures which cannot be heat treated for stress relieving after welding. Has less tendency to work harden.

SS 310S

These are austenitic types with higher Chromium and Nickel content. Because of their relatively high creep strength and mechanical properties at higher temperatures these steel find applications for higher temperatures and server service conditions. Used for air heaters, annealing boxes, ovens, carbureting boxes, fire box sheets furnace linings, furnace stacks and dampers, gas turbine parts, heat exchanges kin lining, nozzle diaphragm, mill equipment oil refinery equipment, recuperations etc.

SS 316

An austenitic stainless steel with 2.0 to 3% No. which improves corrosion resistance against halogens and imparts hot strength characteristics. Used for applications requiring resistance to pitting corrosion and in halogen atmospheres. Typical application: architectural trims, marine exteriors, chemical processing equipment, food processing equipment, petroleum refining equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, photographic equipment, pulp and paper processing equipment, textile finishing equipment, pollution control etc.

SS 316L

Recommended in place of 316 when weld ability has to be improved.

SS 321

An austenitic stainless steel similar to SS 304 but stabilized with titanium to avoid inter - granular corrosion. Type SS 321 resists scaling and vibration fatigue. It is used for aircraft exhaust stacks and manifolds pressure vessels, large muff lets for stationary diesel engines, carburetors, expansion bellows, stacks liners, fire watism super heaters etc.

SS 409/409M

It is the lowest all over straight Chromium ferritic stainless steel. It replaces carbon steels and low alloy steel where some amount of heat or corrosion resistance and higher strength is required and where appearance is secondary. It is used for fins in heater tubes, automotive exhaust systems including mufflers, resonators, silencers, pipes and emission control units, high pressure agricultural spray tanks, culverts, shipping containers, farm equipment, etc.

SS 410S

SS 41OS is the most commonly used 12% Chromium stainless steel. Excellent combination of toughness and strength can be developed. It is a good choice when good formability and high strength are required and the end use demands resistance to mildly corrosive environment. It is used for furnace parts and burners operating below 650° C, micrometer parts, tray supporters, caps and vaporizers in petroleum fractionating towers, lining for reaction chambers, coal screens fishing tacklets, keys, brackets, rules and tapes, wall screens, steam turbine buckets blades, bucket covers, pump parts, petro-chemical equipment, press plates, etc.

SS 420

This steel contains min 0.15% C and 12% Cr. It can be thermally hardened to develop very high strength. Extremely useful for cutlery. Other applications include vegetable shoppers, scissors, shears, tweezers, hand tools, dental & surgical instruments, etc.

SS 430

SS 430 with 17% Cr. is inferior to SS 304 as regards deep durability. Though it does not have good corrosion resistance properties as the CR-Ni steels, it is used under less severe corrosive atmospheres for chemical processing equipment, furnace parts, heat exchangers, oil burner parts, petroleum rolling equipment, pyrometers, protection tubes, recuperates, rubber plant machinery, scientific apparatus, storage vessels, tubing, television cones, electrical appliances, solar water heaters, air conditioners, kitchenware, household appliances, decorative trims, parts for washing machines, etc.
