Weight: 0 kg
Formula: π × D² / 4 × L × density

Quick Answer

  • Round Bar Weight = π × D² / 4 × L × Density
  • Input units:
    • Diameter (mm)
    • Length (mm)
    • Density (g/cm³)
  • Output:
    • Weight (kg)

Formula

W = pi times frac times L times rho

👉 Where:

  • W = Weight
  • D = Diameter (mm)
  • L = Length (mm)
  • ρ (Density) = g/cm³

How It Works

  1. Select material (density auto-filled)
  2. Enter diameter (mm)
  3. Enter length (mm)
  4. Input quantity
  5. Get total weight instantly

✔ Real-time calculation
✔ Supports multiple materials
✔ Accurate for engineering use


Unit Conversion Note

The calculator automatically converts:

  • mm³ → cm³
  • g → kg

👉 So you can directly input mm + g/cm³ and get kg result


Common Material Density

Material Density (g/cm³)
Aluminum 2.70
Steel 7.85
Stainless Steel 8.00
Brass 8.50
Copper 8.96
Titanium 4.43

Example Calculation

Material: Steel
Diameter: 20 mm
Length: 1000 mm

Step 1: Cross-section area
π × 20² / 4 = 314.16 mm²

Step 2: Volume
314.16 × 1000 = 314,160 mm³ = 314.16 cm³

Step 3: Weight

Weight = 314.16 times 7.85 approx 2.47 kg
