To calculate the weights of Bright Steel Bars in kg/metre, use the following formulae:Hexagons - (size a/f in mm)2
x .006798
= weight per metre in kilograms
Squares
- (size a/f in mm)2
x .00785
= weight per metre in kilograms
x .006165
= weight per metre in kilograms
Rounds
- (Diameter in mm)2
Flats
- Width in mm x thickness in mm x .00785
= weight per metre in kilograms.

conversion factors

To calculate the weight of steel bars:

ROUND - dia. mm2 x 0.006165 = Weight in kilograms per metre
ROUND - dia. mm2 x 0.004143 = Weight in lbs per foot
HEXAGON - Size mm2 x 0.006798 = Weight in kilograms per metre
HEXAGON - Size mm2 x 0.00457 = Weight in lbs per foot
SQUARE - Size mm2 x 0.00785 = Weight in kilograms per metre
SQUARE - Size mm2 x 0.00527 = Weight in lbs per foot
FLAT - Width in mm x Thickness in mm x 0.00785 = Weight in kilograms per metre
FLAT - Width in mm x Thickness in mm x 0.00527 = Weight in lbs. per foot
TOOL STEEL - Width in mm x Thickness in mm x 0.00785 = Weight in kilograms per metre
TOOLING PLATE (Aluminium) - Width in mm x Thickness in mm x 0.0027 = Weight in kilograms per metre

General:

lbs. per foot x 1.4880 = kilograms per metre

kilograms per metre x 0.6720 = lbs. per foot
Feet x 0.3048 = metres
Metres x 3.2809 = feet
U.K. tons per sq. inch (tons f/in.2) x 15.4443 = Mega Pascals (MPa)
Mega Pascals (MPa) x 0.064749 = u.k. tons f per square inch
Newton per sq. millimeter (N/mm2) x 0.064749 = U.K. tons f per square inch.
Mega Pascals (MPa) x 145.0377 = pounds per square inch (psi)
