How it was calculated

The weight is the section area multiplied by the material density:

kg/m = S² × 0.866 × 0.00785, where S is the size across flats in mm.

For Hexagon bar SW55, the section area is 26.20 cm², so 1 metre = 26.20 × 0.785 = 20.565 kg.

The real weight can differ by a few percent because of rolling tolerances. For other materials or lengths use the calculator.
