1. What is Density of Galvanized Iron?

Definition: Density is the mass per unit volume of a material, measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Purpose: Galvanized iron (GI) has a density of ~7850 kg/m³ (same as steel, adjusted for zinc coating). This calculator helps determine density when mass and volume are known.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \rho = \frac{m}{V} \]

Where:

\( \rho \) — Density (kg/m³)
\( m \) — Mass (kg)
\( V \) — Volume (m³)

Explanation: The mass is divided by volume to calculate density. For GI, the typical value is ~7850 kg/m³.

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Knowing density helps in material selection, structural calculations, and estimating weights for construction projects.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mass in kilograms and volume in cubic meters. Both values must be > 0. The default result shows typical GI density.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the density of galvanized iron?
A: Typically ~7850 kg/m³, similar to steel but slightly adjusted for the zinc coating.

Q2: How does galvanization affect density?
A: The zinc coating adds minimal mass, so density remains close to pure steel (7850 kg/m³).

Q3: When would I need to calculate density?
A: When working with non-standard GI products or verifying material specifications.

Q4: How precise is the 7850 kg/m³ value?
A: It's an approximation - actual density may vary slightly based on zinc coating thickness and steel composition.

Q5: What units should I use?
A: This calculator uses kg for mass and m³ for volume to give density in standard kg/m³ units.
