- A is the width; C is the thickness. CR: rounded edge. It is a different profile, not the same size.
How much do the lengths weigh?
| 6 m lengths | 1 | 5 | 10 | 25 | 50 | 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 14.26 kg | 71.28 kg | 142.56 kg | 356.4 kg | 712.8 kg | 1,425.6 kg |
| Metres | 6 m | 30 m | 60 m | 150 m | 300 m | 600 m |
How much load does the 110 × 8 flat bar take?
Supported at both ends, with the load at midspan: how many kilos it takes before it bends more than 1/200 of the span (what windows and light structures usually accept) or goes past the elastic limit of 6063-T5 aluminium.
| Span | 0.5 m | 1 m | 1.5 m | 2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upright (110 mm high) | 1,710 kg* | 855 kg* | 570 kg* | 375 kg |
| Flat (8 mm high) | 32 kg | 7.9 kg | 3.5 kg | 2 kg |
Moment of inertia 88.73 cm⁴ upright · 0.47 cm⁴ flat; section modulus 16.13 cm³ upright · 1.17 cm³ flat. * Here the strength of the material governs, not the deflection. A guidance calculation for a straight beam with sharp corners, E = 69 GPa, without its own weight or buckling of thin walls: for a structure, the check must be done by an engineer.
