ABS T-Bar Weight Calculator:
Enter the values of width, W(cm), thickness, T(cm), height, H(cm) and length, L(cm) to determine the value of weight, W(g).
ABS T-Bar Weight Formula:
An ABS T-bar is a structural component shaped like the letter “T” and made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a thermoplastic polymer known for its strength, toughness, and resistance to impact and various environmental factors.
The T-shape provides a high moment of inertia, making the bar effective in bearing loads and resisting bending or deflection.
The physics of the ABS T-bar weight involves calculating the mass of the material based on its dimensions and density.
The weight is a function of the volume of the material that composes the T-bar, which depends on the width, thickness, height and length of the bar. The density of ABS determines how much mass a given volume of the material has.
The weight, W(g) in grams of an ABS T-bar is calculated by taking the width, W(cm) in centimetres multiplied by the thickness, T(cm) in centimetres, then subtracting the product of the height, H(cm)in centimetres minus the thickness (H(cm) – T(cm)) and the thickness, T(cm). Multiply the resulting area by the length, L(cm) in centimetres and the material density, d(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetre.
ABS T-Bar Weight,
W(g) = [W(cm) * T(cm) – (H(cm) – T(cm)) * T(cm)] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = ABS T-bar weight in grams, g.
W(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.
T(cm) = thickness in centimetres, cm.
H(cm) = height in centimetres, cm.
d(g/cm3) = density in grams per cubic centimetres, cm.
L(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.
ABS T-Bar Weight Calculation:
- An ABS T-bar has a width of 6 cm, a height of 4 cm, a thickness of 1 cm, a length of 150 cm, and the density of ABS plastic is 1.04 g/cm3. Calculate the weight of the T-bar.
Given: W(cm) = 6cm, T(cm) = 1cm, H(cm) = 4cm, L(cm) = 150cm, d(g/cm3) = 1.04g/cm3.
ABS T-Bar Weight, W(g) = [W(cm) * T(cm) – (H(cm) – T(cm)) * T(cm)] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = [6 * 1 – (4 – 1) * 1] * 150 * 1.04
W(g) = 3 * 150 * 1.04
W(g) = 468g.
- An ABS T-bar with a width of 5 cm, height of 3 cm, thickness of 1 cm, and density of 1.04 g/cm3 weighs 520 g. Calculate the length of the T-bar.
Given: W(cm) = 5cm, T(cm) = 1cm, H(cm) = 3cm, W(g) = 520g, d(g/cm3) = 1.04g/cm3.
ABS T-Bar Weight, W(g) = [W(cm) * T(cm) – (H(cm) – T(cm)) * T(cm)] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
L(cm) = W(g) / [W(cm) * T(cm) – (H(cm) – T(cm)) * T(cm)] * d(g/cm3)
L(cm) = 520 / [5 * 1 – (3 – 1) * 1] * 1.04
L(cm) = 520 / 3 * 1.04
L(cm) = 166.67cm.
