How many meters per ton of steel tube?
General scaffolding tube diameter 40mm, specifications specify wall thickness of 3.5mm, the actual wall thickness of 3.2 - 3.4mm.The theoretical weight per meter is 3.85kg and the wall thickness is 3mm.Hence a ton of steel is about 260m.
Formula of steel tube: (outside diameter wall thickness) * wall thickness *0.02466= per meter weight1000 divided by the weight per metre is how many meters per ton
Metric tons are metric units and China adopts metric system, so what we Chinese usually say "ton" means "metric ton", which can be regarded as "metric ton"1 metric tons (tonne/metric ton) = 1000 kg1 tons = 1000 kg1 kg = 1000 grams
