Round Bar
Weight Calculator
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
- Select material (density auto-filled)
- Enter diameter (mm)
- Enter length (mm)
- Input quantity
- 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
