How many nails are 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. We weigh one fastener and divide 1000 grams by the result obtained. But if you don’t like such calculations, you can use a ready-made table.

Nail weight tables (according to GOST)
It is important to understand that this calculation method is approximate. There are several reasons for this, which we will talk about a little later. In the meantime, we present to you the table of weights and quantities of construction nails:
| Dimension d x l (mm) | Weight 1000 pcs. (kg) | Quantity per 1 kg (pcs.) |
| 0.8x8 | 0,032 | 31250 |
| 0,8×12 | 0,034 | 29412 |
| 1,0×16 | 0,100 | 10000 |
| 1,2×16 | 0,147 | 6803 |
| 1,2×20 | 0,183 | 5464 |
| 1,2×25 | 0,219 | 4566 |
| 1,4×25 | 0,302 | 3311 |
| 1,4×32 | 0,385 | 2597 |
| 1,4×40 | 0,482 | 2075 |
| 1,6×25 | 0,397 | 2519 |
| 1,6×40 | 0,633 | 1580 |
| 1,6×50 | 0,794 | 1259 |
| 1,8×32 | 0,640 | 1563 |
| 1,8×40 | 0,787 | 1271 |
| 1,8×50 | 0,967 | 1034 |
| 1,8×60 | 1,160 | 862 |
| 2,0×40 | 0,949 | 1054 |
| 2,0×50 | 1,190 | 840 |
| 2,5×50 | 1,870 | 535 |
| 2,5×60 | 2,230 | 448 |
| 3,0×70 | 3,770 | 265 |
| 3,0×80 | 4,330 | 231 |
| 3,5×90 | 6,600 | 152 |
| 4,0×100 | 9,500 | 105 |
| 4,0×120 | 11,500 | 87 |
| 5,0×120 | 17,500 | 57 |
| 5,0×150 | 21,900 | 46 |
| 6,0×150 | 32,400 | 31 |
| 6,0×200 | 43,100 | 23 |
And here is another table to help you navigate the number of container round nails:
| Dimension d x l (mm) | Weight 1000 pcs. (kg) | Quantity per 1 kg (pcs.) |
| 1.6x25 | 0,394 | 2538 |
| 1.6x35 | 0,46 | 2174 |
| 1.8x32 | 0,641 | 1560 |
| 1.8x40 | 0,783 | 1277 |
| 1.8x45 | 0,883 | 1133 |
| 2.0x40 | 0,99 | 1010 |
| 2.0x45 | 1,11 | 901 |
| 2.2x50 | 1,49 | 671 |
| 2.5x50 | 1,92 | 521 |
| 2.5x60 | 2,29 | 437 |
| 3.0x70 | 3,82 | 262 |
| 3.0x80 | 4,38 | 228 |
Well, one more thing - round molding nails:
| Dimension d x l (mm) | Weight 1000 pcs. (kg) | Quantity per 1 kg (pcs.) |
| 1.2x50 | 0,442 | 2263 |
| 1.4x60 | 0,722 | 1385 |
| 1.4x70 | 0,843 | 1186 |
| 1.6x80 | 1,29 | 775 |
| 1.6x100 | 1,59 | 629 |
| 1.8x120 | 2,37 | 422 |
| 1.8x150 | 3,17 | 315 |
Why are tables a rough guide?
Let's start with the most interesting thing - the clarification “according to GOST” in the previous paragraph was not accidental: it is the state standards that are reflected in most of these tables. But the nails themselves are mostly produced according to specifications (technical specifications), which are a compromise between the manufacturer’s conscience 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 can differ in different parameters: from the sizes 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 final 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 bulk purchase itself, as a phenomenon, people who decide to do this are doing the very right thing. The fact is that packaged fasteners are more expensive. Moreover, this difference can reach 1.5-2 times in comparison with the cost of products sold by weight. These are the tricks.
