Here is a list of 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.
