Weight: 0 kg
Formula: Ļ€ Ɨ D² / 4 Ɨ L Ɨ density

Quick Answer

šŸ‘‰ Basic formula:

Weight = Ļ€ Ɨ (D² / 4) Ɨ Length Ɨ Density Ɨ Quantity

  • D = Diameter
  • Length = Bar length
  • Density = Material density

āœ” Example:
Steel round bar Ƙ20 mm Ɨ 1000 mm
→ Weight ā‰ˆ 2.47 kg


Formula (Round Bar Weight)

Standard Engineering Formula:

Weight (kg) = Ļ€ Ɨ (D² / 4) Ɨ L Ɨ Density Ɨ Quantity Ć· 1,000,000

(when: D & L in mm, density in g/cm³)


Common Material Density (Reference)

Material Density (g/cm³)
Aluminum 6061 2.70
Aluminum 7075 2.81
Carbon Steel 7.85
Stainless Steel 7.93–8.00
Titanium Grade 5 4.43
Brass 8.50
Copper 8.96

Round Bar Weight Reference Table

(Based on Carbon Steel, Density = 7.85 g/cm³, Length = 1 meter)

Diameter (mm) Weight (kg/m)
10 0.62
20 2.47
30 5.55
50 15.42
100 61.65

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Select a material (auto-fills density)
  2. Enter diameter (mm)
  3. Enter length (mm)
  4. Input quantity (pcs)
  5. Get instant total weight (kg)

āœ” Real-time calculation
āœ” Ideal for engineering and procurement


Common Engineering Uses

1. CNC Machining Cost Estimation

  • Raw material cost is directly based on weight

2. Material Procurement

  • Calculate required bar stock before purchasing

3. Shipping & Logistics

  • Estimate shipping cost based on total weight

4. Structural & Mechanical Design

  • Evaluate load and weight distribution

Important Notes

  • Ensure all units are consistent (mm + g/cm³ recommended)
  • Density varies slightly depending on alloy and condition
  • For hollow bars (tubes), use a different formula
