steelyard — Metal Section Weight & Cost Calculator

steelyard is a free iPhone utility created by Mohamed Saad that computes both the weight and the cost of metal profiles and shapes. It’s designed to give precise results quickly by letting you pick a metal type, enter relevant dimensions, and obtain immediate calculations.

Key capabilities at a glance

• Protects user privacy by not collecting personal data and avoiding background processes.
• Lets you bookmark and retrieve previously saved calculations for fast access.
• Works offline so calculations are available without a network connection.
• Supports both metric and imperial measurement systems for broad compatibility.
• Provides a streamlined interface that reduces the number of taps required to get results.
• Allows storing preferred settings so you don’t need to re-enter common parameters.

Supported measurement systems

steelyard supports a wide range of units:

• Metric: millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilograms.
• Imperial: inches, feet, pounds.

This flexibility makes the app useful across different industries and regional preferences.

Search and workflow

The app includes an advanced search tool to quickly locate the required metal type or profile. Once selected, you can input dimensions and instantly view calculated weight and estimated price. The workflow is optimized to minimize steps and present results as fast as possible.

Privacy and resource usage

Privacy is prioritized: the app does not collect identifying information. It also does not run continuous background tasks, helping preserve battery life and device performance.

Ideal users

steelyard is well suited for metalworkers, fabricators, engineers, estimators, and hobbyists who need a compact, reliable calculator for section weights and material costs.
