What a length of PBP 200 weighs

Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of PBP 200 at six metres each is 43.85 × 6 × 10 = 2,631 kg. There is nothing else to it — the standard publishes the mass, so no one needs to compute it from the area.

You can check that mass against the area on this page: 55.8 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 43.8 kg/m. Every row in this dataset was checked that way, which is how the contradictions flagged on some of these pages were found.

Common questions about PBP 200

What is the weight of PBP 200 per metre?

IS 808 : 2021 gives PBP 200 a mass of 43.85 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 55.8 cm² agrees: 55.8 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 43.80 kg per metre.

How much does a 6 m length of PBP 200 weigh?

263.10 kg. Mass per metre times length: 43.85 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 2631 kg.

What are the dimensions of PBP 200?

200 mm deep and 205 mm wide, with a 9.3 mm web and 9.3 mm flanges.

Where these figures come from. IS 808 Table 13 - Parallel Flange Bearing Piles Section properties are facts published in the standards, and they are reproduced here as printed. Where a standard contradicts itself, both of its figures are shown and neither is corrected.

What is ours. The selection and arrangement of these tables, the checks run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording. Quote the numbers freely; they belong to everyone. Copying the compilation and the commentary is a different thing, and we would rather you linked to it.
