Rod weight per meter: 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, 16mm, 20mm & 25mm steel bar

Rod or steel bar also known as Rebar is short form of reinforcing bar, it is steel Rod or Steel wire provided as tension bar in concrete structure, used in reinforced concrete structure such as column, beam and slab of house construction and it also used in reinforced masonry structure. It is used to increase the tensile strength of concrete structure.

Rod or steel bars or Reinforcing bar/rebar surface is often deformed with ribs to promote a better bonding with concrete material and reduce the risk of slippage. The most common Rods or Reinforcing bar/ rebar is carbon steel of hot rolled round bar with the deformation patterns, the Steel rebar/ Rod may be also coated with epoxy resin material, design to resist effect of corrosion mostly in saltwater environment.

As we know that different countries in the world have their own gradation, specification of Steel and record of measurement for reinforcing bar or Rods. First remember that rebar is measured differentially in United States and Europe. while the United states, it uses the Imperial measurement system. Europe and most of rest of world uses the metric system and measured in mm.

In this article we briefly explain Rod weight per meter: 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, 16mm, 20mm & 25mm steel bar and know about 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm & 32mm steel rod weight per meter. This will help to viewers in better understanding and it is easy to choose the most suitable rebar or Rod weight per meter you wanted according to requirement.

Let us first know about length of one piece of rod or steel bar, generally in India full length of one Steel bar or rod which are used in construction are available in 12 meter or approximately 40 feet long.

Rod weight per meter: 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, 16mm, 20mm & 25mm steel bar

To calculate steel rod weight per meter, use the formula D^2L/162 to figure out unit weight or mass of rod in kg per meter, where D is the diameter of steel rod and L is the unit length for 1 meter and numerical figure 162 is the thumb rule number which is derived. For example 12mm steel rod weight per meter = D^2L/162, (12×12×1) ÷ 162 = 0.89kgs/m, hence 0.89 kg is the 12mm steel rod weight per meter.

Steel (Rod) weight per meter

Typical weight of 6mm steel bar is about 0.22kg per meter, 8mm steel bar is 0.395kg per meter, 10mm steel bar is 0.62kg per meter, 12mm is steel bar is 0.89kg per meter, 16mm steel bar weighs 1.58kg per meter, 20mm steel bar weighs 2.47kg per meter, 25mm steel bar weighs 3.86kg per meter, 32mm steel bar weighs 6.32kg per meter and 40mm steel bar weighs 9.87 kgs/ meter.

Rod weight per meter

Generally we use the formula D^2L/162 to calculate weight of rod or steel bar per unit length such as in kg per meter.

The typical weight of a 6mm steel rod is around 0.222 kgs per meter, 8mm rod is 0.395 kg/m, 10mm rod is 0.617 kg/m, 12mm rod is 0.89 kg/m, 16mm rod is 1.58 kgs/m, 20mm rod is 2.47 kgs/m, 25mm rod is 3.86 kgs/m, 32mm rod is 6.32 kgs/m and 40mm rod is 9.87 kgs/m. This is theoretical weight of rod per meter.
