We knew that the D²/162.2 formula to calculate the weight of the rounded bar in Kg/m. But What about the weight of a steel plate or irregular shape?
Basically, any unit weight calculation falls under this broad formula
Unit weight = Volume X Density
From the above formula, Unit weight of steel bar = Volume of steel bar X Density of steel bar
We know Area of Ciricle = πr2 (where R=D/2) = πD2/4
Therefore the unit weight of steel per meter = Area of steel X Density of steel X Bar Length
= π(D2/4) x 7850 Kg/m3 x 1m
= 3.14 D2 /4 X 7850 X 1
= (6162.25 D2) / (10002) (since diameter is in mm converting to m -> 1 m = 1000 mm)
= D2 / 162.2
Therefore Unit weight of steel bar per metre formula is D2 / 162.2

What is the weight of 5m length & 16mm Dia bar?
Unit weight of steel bar = D2 / 162.2 X Lenght of the bar = (162)/ 162.2 X 5 m = 7.89 Kg
—————————————————–
Using the above Broad Formula,
Unit Weight of plate = Area x Density of Steel x Thickness
What is the weight of plate having measurement 5m x 2m and thickness 12mm?
Weight of plate = (5 x 2) x 7850 x 0.012 = 942 Kg
Here we listed the steel bar weight chart which often used in the reinforcement.
Dia of Bar | Weight in Kg/m |
8 | 0.394 |
10 | 0.616 |
12 | 0.887 |
16 | 1.578 |
20 | 2.466 |
25 | 3.853 |
32 | 6.313 |
