Practical Formulas to Calculate Steel Weight

 


Square and rectangle carbon (black) steel tubes:

Weight per meter kg/m
kg/m = (Oc - 4Wt) * Wt * 0.00785

Oc = outside circuit, Wt = wall thickness
For sq. steel tubes: Oc = 4*a
For rect. steel tubes: Oc = 2a + 2b

 

Round alloyed and high alloyed steel tubes

Weight per meter kg/m for alloyed tubes
Kg/m = (Od - Wt) * Wt * 0.02505

Od = outside diameter
Wt = wall thickness

 

Weight per meter kg/m for carbon tubes

kg/m = (Od - Wt) * Wt * 0.02466


Od = outside diameter
Wt = wall thickness


Weight per meter kg/m for Round bar


kg/m = 0.02468 * (D/2)^

D = Diametter in mm

 

 

 

 

Weight per meter kg/m for Square bar


kg/m = 0.031424 * (a/2)^

a = Square dimension in mm

 

 

 

 

 

Weight per meter kg/m for Hexagon bar


kg/m = 0.0272 * (D/2)^

D = Width across flats in mm
