1. Theoretical weight of steels
The theoretical weight of steels is obtained by calculating nominal dimensions and density (which is called specific weight in the past). This is directly related with the steel length, the cross section area, and the allowable size deviation. Because of the allowable deviation in the process of manufacturing, the calculated theoretical weight is somehow different from the actual value, and the theoretical value is only for reference while estimating。
2. Actual weight of steel
Actual weight of steel refers to the weight obtained by actual weighting (with a scale). The actual weight is more accurate than the theoretical weight.
3. Methods for calculating weight of steel
a. Gross weight opposed to net weight. It’s the total weight of steel itself and the packing materials. Transportation companies calculate fare based on gross weight, while the purchase and sale of steel is calculated based on net weight.
b. Net weight opposed to gross weight. It is obtained by subtracting the weight of the packing materials from gross weight. It is the actual weight, called net weight. The purchase and sale are usually based on net weight.
c. Tarethe weight of steel products’ packing materials, called tare.
d. Ton the weight unit used in calculating carriage by the gross weight of steel. Its legal unit of measurement is ton (1000kg). Besides, there are long ton (British measurement unit, 1016.16kg), and short ton (American measurement unit, 907.18kg).
e. Charged weight also called “the charged ton” or “ the freight ton”. It is the weight of steel for which transportation departments charge. Different ways of transportation have different criterions and methods of calculation. For example, in whole train transportation, usually the charged weight is the marked weight carried by the vehicle. In the highway transportation, it is charged according to the weight capacity of the truck. As for other non-whole train or truck transportation, the minimum charged weight is several kilograms by gross weight. If the weight is a little less than an integral value, it will be calculated by this integral value.
