Steel Rebar The steel rods are widely used in construction to reinforce concrete structures. Before you start planning your project you should know about the steel rod weight. You should know how to calculate the unit weight of a steel rod to make informed decisions on procurement. There are different types of steel rebar such as TMT rebars, mild steel bars, deformed bars and reinforced bars. Different types of bars have their unique properties. You need to understand the steel weight during the planning stage and buy material. A steel weight chart can be a useful reference tool. Knowing the steel bar weight in kilograms helps construction professionals in allocating resources and estimating costs. The TMT bars are available in different sizes and the weight varies as per size. TMT bar weight chart Diameter Weight of a single bar Unit weight of steel per meter 8 mm 4.74 kg 0.400 kg 10 mm 7.4 kg 0.618 kg 12 mm 10.57 kg 0.890 kg 16 mm 18.96 kg 1.59 kg 20 mm 29...
Solid Film Lubricants If you look into the various types of lubricants available in the market, one that stands out is the dry variety. They are used in situations where it is not possible to make use of liquid lubricants. Though liquid lubricants possess many qualities that are very attractive, still solid lubricants are used for many reasons. They are more certainly effective at high loads, speeds providing high stability even when there is extreme temperature, radiation and pressure. In very reactive environments, they remain the same, providing lubrication even under such tough situations. Key Features Of Solid Film Lubricants Some of the key points to note about solid lubricants are their thermal and oxidation stability, melting point, crystal structure, hardness etc. When it is sprayed onto a surface, it gives it protection but does not react to the material of that surface. It is best used in high temperatures that are simply not tolerated by liquid lubricants. Here is a l...
