Mr Calcu | Steel Weight Calculator for All Shapes and Sizes

Accurately calculate the weight of steel bars, sheets, pipes, and plates for any dimensions.

Steel Weight Calculator Description

What is a Steel Weight Calculator?

A Steel Weight Calculator is a critical engineering tool used to compute the weight of steel based on its type, shape, and dimensions. This calculator aids in project planning, cost estimation, transportation logistics, and construction design. The density of steel is assumed to be 7850 kg/m³, which is used across all standard calculations unless otherwise specified.

Supported Shapes:

• Round Bars
• Rectangular Plates
• Square Bars
• Steel Pipes (Hollow)
• Flat Bars

Knowing the accurate weight helps buyers and engineers optimize structural integrity and manage budget constraints. This calculator removes manual guesswork and provides instant, reliable results.

Formulae and Standards

Different shapes require different formulae. Here's a quick reference:
Round Bar: π × r² × length × density
Square Bar: side × side × length × density
Rectangular Plate: length × width × thickness × density
Pipe: π × (OuterRadius² - InnerRadius²) × length × density
Flat Bar: width × thickness × length × density

This calculator takes all necessary parameters and computes weights in kilograms and pounds, and provides insights for procurement and structural analysis.

Use Cases

Whether you are estimating weight for shipping, preparing a quotation for steel fabrication, or analyzing structural load, this calculator brings real-time precision. Industries that rely on this include:

• Construction & Civil Engineering
• Steel Manufacturing
• Shipbuilding
• Mechanical Engineering
