Bar weight formulas

  • Round bar: area = pi * d^2 / 4.
  • Square bar: area = side^2.
  • Hex bar: area = 0.866 * AF^2, where AF is across flats.
  • Flat bar: area = width * thickness.

Weight formula

bar weight = density * area * length

Worked example

A 25 mm steel round bar weighs 3.85 kg/m using 7.85 g/cm3 steel density.
