Rebar Weight Calculator
How to use the Rebar Weight Calculator
Enter Diameter (mm):
Input the diameter of the rebar in millimeters (mm) into the "Diameter (mm)" input box.
Enter Length (m):
Input the length of each rebar in meters (m) into the "Length (m)" input box.
Enter Number of Bars:
Input the total number of rebar bars for this calculation in the "Number of Bars" input box.
Calculate:
Click the "Calculate" button next to the respective row. The calculator will compute the total weight of the reinforcement required for that particular set of inputs.
Review Results:
The total weight in tonnes for each row will be displayed under the "Total Weight (Tonnes)" column.
Grand Total:
The grand total of all calculated weights from all rows will be automatically summed up and displayed at the bottom of the table, showing the total tonnage for all inputs combined.
This allows you to calculate the weight of reinforcement for multiple sets of rebar simultaneously and track the total amount required.

What is a Rebar Weight Calculator?
A rebar weight calculator is a tool used to estimate the total weight of reinforcement steel required for a project.
T calculates the weight based on the diameter, length, and number of rebar bars entered. This ensures accurate material estimates, helping to prevent shortages or excess ordering while improving project efficiency.
Equations used in the Rebar Weight Calculator
Rebar Weight per Meter
Weight per meter (kg/m) = (Diameter (mm)²) ÷ 162.28
Total Rebar Weight
Total Weight (kg) = Weight per meter × Length (m) × Number of Bars
Convert to Tonnes
Total Weight (tonnes) = Total Weight (kg) ÷ 1000
The Purpose of a Rebar Weight Calculator
Estimate Material Quantity: Calculates the total weight of reinforcement steel required based on the rebar diameter, length, and quantity.
Cost Estimation: Assists in budgeting by estimating the total weight of steel needed for a project.
Project Planning: Helps in planning material procurement, transportation, and storage.
Avoid Wastage: Ensures accurate ordering of reinforcement steel, preventing excess material costs and shortages.
