Steel round bar weight table

The full download covers nominal diameters from 1 mm to 400 mm. The table below keeps the common sizes on one page, with enough decimal precision to reproduce the calculation.

Common nominal diameters

Theoretical kg/m and 6 m bar weight

Values are calculated from nominal solid-circle geometry. They are not copied from a supplier stock table.

Use this table for early quantity, bundle, and freight planning. Before ordering, confirm diameter and length tolerances, pieces, grade, and whether the quotation uses theoretical or measured mass; those choices can change the commercial total even when the nominal size is unchanged.

Method and provenance

One formula behind every row.

kg/m = pi / 4 * (diameter_mm / 1000)^2 * density_kg_m3

Solid circular steel bar with nominal diameter; one-millimetre increments from 1 mm through 400 mm.

The default density comes from European Commission Joint Research Centre, Eurocodes: Background and Applications — Design of Steel Buildings, Table 2. The source lists 7,850 kg/m³ as the steel unit mass used in design calculations.

Use boundary

A planning table, not a weighbridge record.

Theoretical geometric mass only. It does not include diameter tolerance, scale, decarburization, surface removal, end condition, or grade-specific measured density. Commercial settlement follows the accepted order.
