  • Weight of reinforcement bars

    Diameter of bar in mm Weight in Kg/m 6mm 0.222 8mm 0.395 10mm 0.616 12mm 0.888 16mm 1.578 20mm 2.466 25mm 3.853 The weight of a reinforcement bar (rebar) can be calculated using the formula: Weight (kg)=Length (mm)×Diameter2(mm)×0.00617/1000 Weight (kg)=(1000x12x12x0.00617)/1000 = 0.888 (kg/m). For a FE550 reinforcement bar, which refers to the grade of steel, the diameter will dictate…
