How much does a 100x100 beam weigh? How much does a beam of different sizes weigh? Let's be completely honest and finish what we started.

In this article I will consider only pine material growing in the territory in the central part of Russia because this material
most in demand in the construction market of Moscow. It is from pine that country houses are built wooden houses.

I’ll immediately make a reservation that pine growing in Siberia has a denser texture, weighs more and costs an order of magnitude more. Distinguish her
It’s possible even visually, but this is a topic for a separate article.

The weight of one cubic meter of freshly cut pine and processed into edged lumber is about 860 kg. Knowing the types of sections
timber, you can calculate the weight of 1 piece of timber.

• 200x200x6000mm. (4.1 pieces in 1m3):
  • 860kg. : 4.1pcs. =209.7kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x200 is 210 kg.

• 200x150x6000mm (5.5 pieces per 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 5.5pcs. = 156.3 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x150 is 156 kg.

• 200x100x6000mm (8.3 pieces per 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 8.3pcs. = 103.6 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x100 is 104 kg.

• 150x150x6000mm (7.4 pieces per 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 7.4pcs. = 116.2kg

    The weight of one beam with a section of 150x150 is 116 kg.

• 150x100x6000mm (11.1 pieces per 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 11.1pcs. = 77.47

    The weight of one beam with a section of 150x100 is 78 kg.

• 100x100x6000mm (16.6 pieces in 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 16.6 pcs. = 51.8 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 100x100 is 52 kg.

• 100x50x6000mm (33.3 pieces in 1m3)
  • 860kg. : 33.3pcs. = 25.8 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 100x50 is 26 kg.

To determine for yourself how much it will weigh, let’s say a beam 4000mm and 3000mm long. I will give an example of a calculation formula in which
necessary condition The calculation is the number of pieces in 1m3.

• For timber let's say 200x200x3000mm:
  • 1 : 0,2 : 0,2 :
    3 = 8,3 PC. in 1m3
  • 860kg. : 8.3 pcs. = 103.6 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x200 and a length of 3000 mm. 104kg.

• For timber 200x200x4000mm:
  • 1 : 0,2 : 0,2 :
    4 = 6,25 PC. in 1m3
  • 860kg. : 6.25pcs. = 137.6 kg.

    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x200 and a length of 4000 mm. 138kg.

    At the end of the article, I would like to note that these calculations are valid
    only for timber of clearly stated dimensions with the correct geometry, i.e.
    e. corresponding to GOST 8486-86.

    For "Armenian timber", that 4200 rubles per 1m3 is needed separate approach, because quantity? pcs. 1m3 is needed every time
    calculate separately in accordance with the dimensions of the timber.
    

    Let's be completely honest and finish what we started!

    • "Armenian timber? has a cross-section of 135x135x6000mm. (9.2 pcs. in
      1m3):
    • 860kg. : 9.2pcs. = 93.47 kg.

      The weight of one beam with a section of 135x135mm. length 6000mm
      is 94kg.

    • Compare the weight of a normal beam 150x150mm And 135x135mm.
      • 116kg. - 94kg. = 22 kg. difference from 1pc. timber
      • 22kg. X 7.4pcs. in 1m3 = 163kg. difference from 1m3

        Let's say a client takes 20m3 of 135x135 timber as 150x150 but for 4200 rubles.

    • 163kg. X 20m3 = 3260kg i.e. for 3 tons
      260 kg. the client was deceived, because 3260 kg. air!
      Make your own conclusions and other calculations Dear Readers!

The most frequently asked question in search engines is how much one cube weighs, and as a result one beam. This article is just about that.

In this article, I will consider only pine material growing in the central part of Russia, since this material is most in demand in the construction market of the city of Moscow. Country wooden houses are built from pine.
I’ll immediately make a reservation that pine growing in Siberia has a denser texture, weighs more and costs an order of magnitude more. You can even distinguish it visually, but this is a topic for a separate article.

It is also necessary to add that there are no two beams of the same weight; the average value is taken.
The weight of one cubic meter of freshly sawn and processed pine lumber is approx. 820-860kg. I will make calculations according to maximum weight, because I know what kind of effort you have to put into, say, unloading timber with a cross-section of 200x200x6000mm onto spacers into a stack. Individual specimens of this section are difficult to move even with three people. Knowing the cross-sectional dimensions of the timber, you can calculate the weight of 1 piece. timber.

The most popular sections of GOST 8486 timber in construction:

To determine for yourself how much it will weigh, let’s say a beam 4000mm and 3000mm long. I will give an example of a calculation formula in which a necessary condition for the calculation is the number of pieces per 1 m3.

For timber let's say 200x200x3000mm:

• • 1 : 0,2 : 0,2 : 3 = 8,3 PC. in 1m3
  • 860kg. : 8.3 pcs. = 103.6 kg.
    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x200 and a length of 3000 mm. 104kg.

• For timber 200x200x4000mm:

  • 1 : 0,2 : 0,2 : 4 = 6,25 PC. in 1m3
  • 860kg. : 6.25pcs. = 137.6 kg.
    The weight of one beam with a section of 200x200 and a length of 4000 mm. 138kg.

At the end of the article, I would like to specially note that these calculations in Moscow markets are the subject of large and small fraud, so you need to personally check each time “ DECLARED TIMBER DIMENSIONS». Like this: ( see photo)

• The above calculations in the tables are valid only for clear lumber " STATED SIZES» with the correct geometry, i.e. corresponding GOST 8486-86.
• For " Air, timber working section or Armenian Option"and what is sold cheaply at all sorts of special sales. prices need, because quantity of pieces. in 1m3 each time it is necessary to calculate separately in accordance with the actual dimensions of the timber and board.

So that the reader understands how much this damage weighs in tons, I will give an example with calculations for timber 150x150x6000mm:

In the photo there is a beam with a cross section of 140x140x6000mm, sold as 150x150x6000mm - 7 pcs. in 1m3. People call him " Armenian version", "Air beam" or " Working section beam"

• “Air beam or Armenian Option” has a section of 140x140x6000mm. ():
  • 860kg. : 8.5pcs. = 101.18 kg.
    The weight of one beam with a section of 140x140mm. 6000mm long is 101.18kg.

• For comparison, we will use a weight scale. We compare the weight of a normal beam with a section of 150x150x6000mm. and 140x140x6000mm.

Having decided to build a residential building or a bathhouse using wooden beam, you need to learn in more detail not only about its advantages and varieties. The quality of the final result will also depend on the basic characteristics of the material and its weight. Since this building material can be made in various sizes, its weight is also individual elements differ significantly from each other. So how much does a cube of timber 100x100x6000 and other sized products weigh?

Types of material: what to choose for construction?

Like construction material can be presented in various variations:

• Non-profiled material is the most common type. It is presented in the form of a log processed into four edges. However, houses made from this type of log experience significant shrinkage and require additional caulking.
• Profiled type material has strict geometric shapes. This option is easier to use, which makes it the most popular.
• Glued laminated timber is a fairly new material, which consists of individual wooden elements. This material is highly durable and long term operation, since the process of drying it is much better.

What are the main characteristics that determine quality?

The quality and durability of this wooden material is determined by many characteristics that must be taken into account in the process of selecting the best raw materials.

The main qualitative characteristics of this natural building material include:

• Type of material. In the process of creating a solid beam, natural wood made in the form of round timber is used. If we are talking about glued-type products, then for their production individual boards of different thicknesses are used, which are glued together under a press. Domestic manufacturers create their products, as a rule, from coniferous tree species, which include cedar, larch, pine and spruce.
• Section type. The material can be made with both rectangular and square, and with a more complex type of section. Most in demand for construction country houses is a product with a square cross-section, which is considered an ideal material for creating walls of various sizes and designs of wooden buildings.
• Dimensions. The building materials offered on the modern market can also have different sizes, the most popular of which are 100x100x6000, 150x150x6000 and 200x200x6000. If material of other sizes is required, you will need to purchase it from the manufacturer to order.

How much can a cube weigh?

The question of how much a cube of timber 150x150x6000 weighs is quite relevant today, because when performing self-construction wooden residential buildings, their owners try to collect as much information as possible about consumables, on which the quality and durability of the final result will directly depend. So, for example, the weight of a beam may be required to calculate the load on the foundation or to select special equipment for its transportation. If for a material 100x100x6000 it will be necessary to equip a simple type of foundation, then when using timber 200x200x6000 such a procedure will be significantly different.

One cubic meter freshly sawn and then processed pine lumber weighs around 860 kg. And if the cross-section of the beam is known, then it will not be difficult to find out what mass one piece of it will have.

The calculation of the weight of the timber looks like this:

• The largest cross-sectional timber, 200x200x6000 mm, will weigh about 209.7 kg.
• Products with a cross-section of 100x150x6000 mm have a mass of 156 kg.
• One beam with dimensions 150x150x6000 mm will weigh 116 kg.
• The material, with a cross-section of 150x100x6000 mm, has a mass of 78 kg.
• Bars with dimensions of 100x100x6000 mm will weigh about 52 kg.

The weight of the beams in this case is determined quite simply. The main thing is to find out how many beams can fit in 1 m3, and what mass 1 m3 of lumber has. In the examples above, it was 860 kg. For timber with a cross section of 200 by 200, 4.1 pieces are placed in 1 m3. Thus, we divide the figure of 860 kg by 4.1 pieces.

Knowing such a simple formula, it will not be difficult to independently calculate the weight of one beam, whatever its cross-section.

Deception when buying timber with a cross section of 100x100x6000mm. Fraudulent sales scheme, damage in tons. Using simple mathematical operations, I show the damage in tons.

In this article, I will consider only pine material growing in the central part of Russia, since this material is most in demand in the construction market of the city of Moscow. Country wooden houses are built from pine.
I’ll immediately make a reservation that pine growing in Siberia has a denser texture, weighs more and costs an order of magnitude more. You can even distinguish it visually.
The weight of one cubic meter of freshly sawn and processed pine lumber is approx. 860kg.

Let us recall the calculations of the weight of timber GOST 8486-86 100Х100х6000mm:

Let's consider all the “air” sections of timber 100x100x6000mm that I have encountered over the past five years.

The table below contains all the sections of the “air” beam, calculations and deception schemes.
I apologize for the slight inaccuracies in the calculations associated with rounding, I think that the essence of the deception does not change much from this. All prices for timber sections are given as of 01/01/2012. operate in city markets.

How much GOST 8486 timber weighs is no longer a secret. However, how much an air beam weighs remains a mystery to many. Let's look at the above sections and estimate the damage in kilograms by finding out the difference between the “Air” sections and GOST.

The air cross-section of the beam is 85x85x6000mm. its weight and difference from GOST in kilograms.

The air cross-section of the beam is 90x90x6000mm. its weight and difference from GOST in kilograms.

The air cross-section of the beam is 95x95x6000mm. its weight and difference from GOST in kilograms.

Timber is lumber that is at least 100 mm in length, width and height. This building material is widely used for the construction of various objects, starting from frame houses and baths, ending with stairs and decorative elements. Before starting work, it is necessary to calculate the upcoming scale of purchases - this is an important step that allows you to save money and time.

Preparation for calculations

This is easy to do yourself, even without a calculator, using the simple calculations provided below.

Since each side of a 100x100x6000 beam is indicated in millimeters, you need to do a little mathematical manipulation to convert everything into meters:

• 100mm=0.1m;
• 100mm=0.1m;
• 6000mm=6m.

Now you can proceed directly to the calculations.

Mathematical calculations

The volume of lumber is found according to the formula known from the school curriculum:

V= a* b* c, where a is length, b is width, c is height.

We substitute our data: V=6*0.1*0.1=0.06 kbm

Sellers set a price per cubic meter, and the construction of any object requires accurate knowledge of the amount of material. Therefore, to determine how many wood elements are contained in one cube, we divide its volume by the volume of one beam:

• 1/ V= K;
• K=1/0.06=16.67 pieces.

Remember that during operation, some of the bars will be lost during cutting. Also There may be some flaws in the product, therefore the resulting amount should be multiplied by a factor of 1.3 and rounded up. We will get: 16.67*1.3= 21.671=22 pieces

Let's calculate how many cubes are in one 100x100x6000 beam using the formula. We simply divide the cubic capacity of one bar, calculated in advance, by a cubic meter. The calculation and formula look like this:

• V/1m3;
• 0.06/1=0.06 m3.

If you are planning a large building made of timber, it is recommended to determine how many meters are in one cube. That is, the total volume of purchases. We have already found the amount of material and its volume. All that remains is to substitute the found numbers into the formula:

K* V= T, where K is the piece of timber, V is the volume of one piece, T is the total volume.

22*0.06=1.32m3

Final table of calculations

For convenience, we present all formulas and calculation operations in the calculation table

Determining the purchase price

In order to determine the cost of your future purchase, multiply the total purchase volume by the price per cubic meter.

Formula for calculation:

T* P= TP, where P is the price, TP is the total price.

Let's take as an example a spruce beam 100x100x6000, costing 4800 rubles/m3.

The total volume is 1.32 m3. We multiply it by the price and get the entire cost: TP=1.32*4800=6336 rubles.

Approximate prices for timber 100x100x6000 of different characteristics and types of wood in tabular form.

Thus, we have calculated all the necessary parameters for the purchase of this lumber and now you can use these formulas and calculations as needed.
