How it was calculated

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

kg/m = d² × 0.006165 (0.00617 rounded), where d is the nominal diameter in mm.

For Rebar Ø16, the section area is 2.01 cm², so 1 metre = 2.01 × 0.785 = 1.578 kg.

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