How to use this tool

  1. Enter bar diameter, total bar length, steel density.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Mass = density × π(diameter/1000)²/4 × total length.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using bar diameter = 12 mm, total bar length = 100 m, steel density = 7850 kg/m³, the result is 88.7814084 kg. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

Understanding your result

Solid circular nominal section. Actual product mass and rib geometry can differ; use supplier tables for purchasing precision.

What to keep in mind

Solid circular nominal section. Actual product mass and rib geometry can differ; use supplier tables for purchasing precision. A material-quantity estimate, not a structural design or building-code check. Confirm site measurements, supplier coverage and waste before ordering.

Common questions

How do I use this rebar weight calculator?

Estimate steel reinforcement mass from nominal diameter and total length. Enter bar diameter in mm, total bar length in m, steel density in kg/m³. The starting example is editable; use values for the same system or project.

Which assumptions affect this result?
