Round Bar
Weight Calculator
Quick Answer
š Basic formula:
Weight = Ļ Ć (D² / 4) Ć Length Ć Density Ć Quantity
- D = Diameter
- Length = Bar length
- Density = Material density
ā Example:
Steel round bar Ć20 mm Ć 1000 mm
ā Weight ā 2.47 kg
Formula (Round Bar Weight)
Standard Engineering Formula:
Weight (kg) = Ļ Ć (D² / 4) Ć L Ć Density Ć 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 | 7.93ā8.00 |
| 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
- Select a material (auto-fills density)
- Enter diameter (mm)
- Enter length (mm)
- Input quantity (pcs)
- Get instant total weight (kg)
ā Real-time calculation
ā 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
