How to calculate the weight of mild steel bar?


Formula of weight

Weight = Volume of bar x Density of steel


Volume of bar = πr2h

= 3.14 x (8mm/2) x 1 m

= 3.14 x (0.004m)2 x 1 m

= 0.00005024 m3


Weight of steel bar = Volume of bar x Density of steel

= 0.00005024 x 7850……..( Density of steel)

= 0.395 kg

OR

For 1 m length d2/162

Unit weight of steel = d2/162

= (8)2 / 162

= 0.395 kg
