Default Steel Slab weight

Ed,
Do you have a table of specific weights by alloy? All I have is a metric
reference and it is not specific enough to be able to identify unknown
material well.

Can anyone tell me the weight of a steel slab that is 3/4" x 31.5" x 42"
?

Thanks,
Bill


The density of most grades of steel averages around 0.283 pounds per
cubic inch, so your slab weighs about 992 lb.

Jeez. Hand slipped punching calculator buttons. g That's 992 cubic
inches, or 281 pounds.
