6mm = 0.222Kg
8mm = 0.395 Kg
10mm = 0.616 Kg
12mm = 0.888 Kg
16mm = 1.578 Kg
20mm = 2.466 Kg
25mm = 3.853 Kg

1 M LENGTH STEEL ROD I ITS VOLUME

V= (3.14/4) *D2 *1 = (3.14/4) x D2X 1 ,,,, (for1m length) Density of Steel=7850 kg/ m 3
Weight = Volume x Density= ((3.14/4) x D2 x 1) x 7850
1x (if D is in mm) So = ((3.14/4) x D2 x1000) x 7850 x 10-3
choose D= 10 mm, Weight = 0.616 kg

1 cubic meter contains 420-450 bricks
