Dimensions of Steel Cylinders. All dimensions in inches. ## DIAMETER LENGTH CIRCUMF ------------------------------------------------ A 3.000 39.924 9.425 B 4.854 24.674 15.250 C 7.854 15.250 24.674 D 12.708 9.425 39.924 E 20.562 5.825 64.598 * Cylinder "A" is a length of 3 inch OD steel tubing, with wall thickness 0.065 inch. (as close as possible to 0.0625). For example, McMaster Carr part no. 3094K53 * Cylinders are made of 16 gauge mild steel, which is 1/16 inch thick (0.0625). * Cut out rectangles of material from a 4x8 sheet of steel. Roll them up on a sheet metal roller, and Seam Weld the ends together. In a Seam Weld, the ends of the material butt up against each other -- they do not lap over each other. * TIG weld with Argon. * All cylinders have equal mass and surface area. * Relative Magnetic Permeability (mu) of steel = 100 to 180
