Mathematical Formula
Weight per Meter (kg) = Diameter² / 162
Overview & Explanation
Calculates unit weight (kg/m) and total tonnage of TMT steel rebar reinforcement bars using standard engineering formulas.
How It Works
- Uses d^2 / 162 (or d^2 / 533 for feet) to find nominal weight per unit length.
- Multiplies unit weight by total length and bar quantity.
Practical Applications
- Column & beam reinforcement detailing
- Slab rebar estimation
- Structural steel ordering
Worked Example: 50 Rods of 12mm Rebar (12m each)
Calculate total steel weight.

Total Weight
0.888 × 12 × 50
= 533.3 kg (0.533 Tons)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the d^2 / 162 formula for steel weight?
The formula W = d^2 / 162 calculates the weight of 1 meter of steel bar in kilograms, where d is the bar diameter in millimeters.
