Weight Calculator

The Weight Calculator can be accessed through the Utilities selection of the main menu or directly from a quote or billing repair card. If you access the Weight Calculator through the quote or billing repair card, you will have the added option of having the resulting calculation pasted to the quantity field.

There are currently five calculations available;

1.  Weights of Pressed Steel Plate, Per Lineal Foot
2.  Weights of Flat Rolled Iron Bars, Per Lineal Foot
3.  Weights of Round Iron Bars, Per Lineal Foot
4. Weights of Chain, Per Lineal Foot
5.   Foot Board Measure, Per Lineal Foot
6.   Mathematical Calculator

Note:  There are no entry fields as all calculations use pull-downs for measurements.  The Height and Width are always in inches and the Length is always in feet.  Where Diameter applies, the Diameter is always in inches.

The calculations are as followed:

1. ((Height * Width) * (length * 12)) * .2836 

2. (Height * (Width*3.333) * Length)  -  [This is based on the table in Rule 69]

3. Result of inches for Diameter is based on the table in Rule 69  *  Length

4. Result of inches for Diameter is based on the table in Rule 69  *  Length

5.  (Height * Width * Length) / 12  - Rule 78
