I need to find a resource on load bearing abilities, etc. for steel tubing, channel, etc.?

American Institute of Steel Construction, www.aisc.org, has more than you would ever want to know about steel. If you're serious about it, they publish a handbook for steel construction, which will contain the information you are asking for. It is the "Steel Construction Manual," and the most current is the Thirteenth Edition. You would be well off finding these resources at a good old freestanding library, as most of them are not free. Another option is to find a structural engineering textbook on designing structural steel.

Try contact the ASTM Directly - it's one of their specs.\n\nA311/A311M-04 - Standard Specification for Cold-Drawn, Stress-Relieved Carbon Steel Bars Subject to Mechanical Property Requirements.\n\nwww.astm.org\n\nThanks!!! Morgan x :o)

Usually the website for the Department of Labor carries that kind of stuff.  Is a U.S. gov't site, so should be the most reliable you could get?

I have a drawing that shows the various types of shell and tube exchangers. I believe their functions are self evident if you see the cross sectins.\n\nSend me you email address and I'll send the drawing.

You're talking about weight of steel tubing in lbs. per foot, which is\n10.6802   X  Wall Thickness X  ( Diameter - Wall Thickness ),\nand for Round Tubing it is 10.6802 x T x (OD - T), where OD is Outside Diameter. The websites I listed below just offer the formula, with no explanation for the constant, but I'll try to give it some explanation.\n\nThe constant must be related to the properties of the material in question, steel in our case, which is made of carbon and iron. The concentration of these depends on the application and it causes the weight to vary, consequently, the constant will vary also.\n\nThe 10.6802 must be the constant of weight (if we have to put a name on it) for commercial piping steel, and its units should be lbs/ft, so that you will get pounds in your result. I’m not a mechanics or materials engineer so I’m just putting the basics of material’s science to work here.\n\nI recommend you look in The Science & Engineering of Materials, by Donald R. Askeland, Pradeep P. Phulé, or any other materials book.

By bar I assume you mean reinforcing steel. Each size has a bend diameter. Go to the ASTM and pull up the chart. Next a hydraulic press is best to provide the action.
