How it was calculated

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

kg/m = a² × 0.00785, where a is the side in mm.

For Square bar 50×50, the section area is 25.00 cm², so 1 metre = 25.00 × 0.785 = 19.625 kg.

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