Question:

where can I find the weight of steel?

I'm looking for the weight of different types of steel and haven't found anything helpful!!thank you

Answer:

of course you couldn't find it, the weigh depends on the size of the piece. What you are looking for, I think, is density. Below are a few tables, there are lots more. .
Category Material Density Metal Steel, tool 7.715 Metal Wrought Iron 7.75 Metal Carbon Tool Steel 7.82 Metal Steel, cold-drawn 7.83 Metal Carbon Steel 7.84 Metal Steel, C1020, HR 7.85 Metal Pure Iron 7.86 Metal Soft Steel (0.06% C) 7.87 Metal Stainless Steel, 304 8.03 Metal Stainless 18Cr-8Ni 8.03 I looked up specific gravity mild steel. This might get you pointed in the right direction.
Just know the type of steel ,its density. Density gives you weight per unit of volume. For example: The density of mild steel is approximately 7.85 g/cm^3 (0.284 lb/in^3) From above , you can say that 1 cm^3 of volume of mild steel have 7.85 gram weight.
