Question 926778: how many tons of steel can be stored in 20ft. ( 38.5 cubic meter ) container
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 meter is equal to 3.28084 feet.
1 cubic meter is equal to 35.31467011 cubic feet.
38.4 cubic meters are equal to 1356.083332 cubic feet.
most references that i looked at put the weight of steel at a nominal 490 pounds per cubic feet plus or minus a few.
38.4 cubic meters of steel will therefore weigh approximately 1356.083332 * 490 = 664,480 pounds.
unless you have to be more specific, 490 pounds per cubic foot looks like a decent estimate.
if not, you'll have to so some more research to find a more accurate estimate based on the type of steel you are looking at.
