How many nails fit in 1 kg: tables according to GOST

The surest way to determine the number of nails in one kilogram is to arm yourself with a calculator and electronic scales. Weigh one fastener and divide 1000 grams by the result obtained. But if you do not like such calculations performed at the box with nails, you can use the ready-made table.

Why are tables a guideline?

Let's start with the most interesting thing - the clarification "in accordance with GOST" in the previous paragraph was not accidental: state standards are reflected in most of these tables. But the nails themselves are for the most part produced according to TU (technical specifications), which are a compromise between the conscience of the manufacturer and the profitability of production. The result is logical: TU and GOST should not be confused, since the first is only very approximately equal to the second.

It follows from this that nails of the same size may differ in different parameters.: starting from the dimensions themselves (a paradox, but a fact) and the shape of the head, and ending with the composition of the wire from which they are made. All this is reflected in the total weight of the products. So if you need to find out the exact number of nails in a kilogram, it is better to use the manual calculation method on a calculator.

As for the purchase itself by weight, as a phenomenon, then people who decide to do this are doing very right. The fact is that packaged nails are more expensive. Moreover, this difference can reach 1.5-2 times in comparison with the cost of products sold by weight.. Such are the tricks.
