Weight of materials?
This is basic info that I just don't know.
What are the weights of the following:
1" square 18 gauge tubing per'
3/4 round 18 gauge tubing per'
16 gauge sheet per Sq'
I'm making a 1/4 scale model of a chassis and I'm worried that if I keep adding diagonals it's going to need a diesel truck engine
to get it rolling.
Thanks

Sounds like an interesting project, is it to develop skills (welding etc?) or just for fun? Was thinking of something similar myself to teach myself
to weld. What will you be using as wheels?

It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care...

FYI
As thats how we buy it:
1) 8 swg = 4.06 mm
2) 10 swg = 3.25 mm
3) 12 swg = 2.64 mm
4) 14 swg = 2.03 mm
5) 16 swg = 1.63 mm
6) 18 swg = 1.22 mm
7) 20 swg = 0.914mm
8) 22 swg = 0.711mm
9) 24 swg = 0.558mm
10)26 swg = 0.46 mm

wall ëxhaust tube" (38.1 to - 50.8)
E mail me if you want it.
