Ton Price to Piece Price
Ton to Piece Price Calculator (and Piece to Ton) — LYH Steel
Convert steel pricing between price per metric ton and price per piece. The tool estimates weight per piece from geometry and density, then returns pieces per ton and pricing outputs for quoting and procurement planning.
Calculator
Units: mm for dimensions. Metric ton = 1000 kg.
Results
Note: Structural sections use simplified geometry (no fillet radii). For contract-critical work, confirm with drawings and MTC values.
Why Ton-to-Piece Conversion Matters
In steel purchasing, pricing can be quoted per metric ton or per piece depending on product form and downstream use. Converting between these two bases helps procurement teams compare offers, prepare accurate RFQs, and translate commercial terms into practical piece-level budgeting.
Calculation Logic
The calculator estimates weight per piece first, then converts pricing. Allowance (%) lets you model trimming loss or process scrap for commercial planning.
| Output | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weight (kg/pc) | Weight = Volume × Density | Dimensions in mm are converted to meters internally |
| Adjusted weight | Adj = Weight × (1 + Allowance%) | Commercial planning buffer |
| Pieces per ton | PPT = 1000 ÷ Adj | Metric ton = 1000 kg |
| Price per piece | Pc = (Ton ÷ 1000) × Adj | When you input price/ton |
| Price per ton | Ton = (Pc ÷ Adj) × 1000 | When you input price/piece |
FAQ
What if my alloy is not listed?
Select “Custom” and enter density in kg/m³. For special alloys, use a supplier data sheet or MTC reference.
Is this accurate enough for quoting?
It is suitable for RFQs, sourcing comparisons, and logistics planning. For safety-critical projects, validate with drawings and certificates.
How should I use Allowance / Scrap (%)?
If you expect trimming, cutting loss, or process scrap, add a small allowance so piece pricing reflects effective consumed weight.
