Weight of steel bars per meter – Weight of steel bars formula

September 24, 2017 by admin 10 Comments

Here is a list of mild steel bars weight.

Diameter of bars in millimeter

Weight of bars in kilogram

6 mm 0.22 kg/meter
10 mm 0.62 kg/meter
12 mm 0.89 kg/meter
16 mm 1.58 kg/meter
20 mm 2.469 kg/meter
25 mm 3.858 kg/meter

Weight of steel bars formula

To calculate weight of steel bars, there is a formula used to calculate weight.

W=(D^2 x L)/162

In the above formula:

  • D is in millimeter.
  • L is the total length of steel bars of which weight is to be calculated.

For example: if we have to calculate the weight of 10 mm steel bars, then we will proceed as follow:

W=10^2/ 162

W=0.617 kg/meter

In this way we will get steel bars weight per meter. After that multiply unit weight with the total length of steel bars of which weight is to be calculated.

Weight of steel bars per foot in kg

Diameter of bars

Weight of bars

#2 bars (diameter 2/8 inch) 0.075 kg/ft
#3 bars (diameter 3/8 inch) 0.170 kg/ft
#4 bars (diameter ½ inch) 0.30 kg/ft
#5 bars (diameter 5/8 inch) 0.473 kg/ft
#6 bars (diameter 6/8 inch) 0.68 kg/ft
#8 bars (diameter 1 inch) 1.21 kg/ft
