Weight of Steel Bar = Volume of Steel Bar x Unit Weight of Steel

Weight of steel Flat bar = (width * length * thickness) x 7850 (kg/m 3)

Ex: Calculate the weight of MS Flat bar of length = 1 m, width = 40 mm and

Thickness = 20 mm

Weight of steel bar = (1 * .04 * .02) * 7850 = 6.28 kg. This is to say that the
weight of 1 m of steel is 6.28 kg. So, if have a total length of bars equal to 125 m,
we can calculate the total weight as:

Total length * weight of 1 m

Assume a steel bar with a diameter of D and a length is L.

Weight of Steel Bar (W) = Unit Weight of Steel (7850) x Volume of Bar

Volume of Bar = πD²/4

Weight of Steel Bar (W) = 7850 * πD²/4

At this point, we have D in meters and the 7850 in kg/m 3. If we want to use the
diameter in mm, we need to convert it to m:

D² (mm) / 1000²

W = 7850 * π/4 x D²/1000²

W = D²/162 kg/m, where D is in mm —-> Eq. 1

if the total length of bar is L, total weight will be W * L:

W = L*D²/162 kg, where D is in mm —-> Eq. 2

If you want to calculate the weights per feet, the 162 is changed to 533

Weight of Steel Bars

Using the previous equations, we can calculate the weight of various steel bars:

Assuming the length of the bar is 1 m, we use equation 1:

Weight of 6 mm Steel Bars

W = (6)2 / 162 = 0.222 kg/m

Weight of 25 mm Steel Bars

For bar size of 25 mm ø bar:

W = (25)2 / 162 = 3.86 kg/m

Weight of 25 mm steel bar is 3.86 kg per meter

Weight of 32 mm Steel Bars

For bar size of 32 mm ø bar:

W = (32)2 / 162 = 6.23 kg/m

Weight of 32 mm steel bar is 6.23 kg per meter

Unit Weight of Steel kilogram per feet

For bar size of 6 mm ø bar:

W = (6)2 / 533= 0.067 kg/ft

If the bar size is 8 mm ø bar:

W = (8)2 / 533 = 0.12 kg/ft

If the bar size is 10 mm ø bar:

W = (10)2 / 533 = 0.188 kg/ft

If the bar size is 12 mm ø bar:

W = (12)2 / 533 = 0.27 kg/ft

If the bar size is 16 mm ø bar:

W = (16)2 / 533 = 0.48 kg/ft

If the bar size is 20 mm ø bar:

W = (20)2 / 533 =0.75 kg/ft
