How many meters of each ton galvanized steel?

Quick estimation length of galvanized steel

The galvanized steel sheet is made up of iron with a zinc coating. The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm³, while the density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm³. When considering only the thickness of the galvanized sheet, you can estimate it using the following formula, where the width is measured in (mm) and the thickness in (m):

length=127.4/(thickness*width)

Length (m)  Thickness (mm)  Width (m)

For example, 127.4 is divided by the thickness of the color steel (e.g. 0.35mm) and then divided by the width of the coil (e.g. 1.2m), the result is meters per ton. 127.4/(0.35*1.25)=291 m

The length per ton of PPGI can also be estimated using this method.

If only thickness and width use below.

Accurate calculation of length of galvanized steel

If the thickness of the zinc coating is known, you can calculate the density of both zinc and iron simultaneously. However, the calculation process can be complicated. Fortunately, we have developed a fast calculation tool that provides a solution. By inputting the thickness and width of the galvanized sheet, as well as the amount of galvanizing per square meter, you can obtain the length per ton using our tool.

If have thickness, width and zinc coated, below is more accurate.
