Note: In the formula, the unit of length is meter, the unit of area is square meter, and the remaining units are millimeters. The above weight * material unit price is the material cost, plus surface treatment + labor cost of each process + packaging material + shipping cost + Tax + interest rate = quotation (FOB).

Calculation of theoretical steel weight

The unit of measurement for calculating the theoretical weight of steel is kilogram (kg). The basic formula is:

W (weight, kg) = F (cross-sectional area mm2) × L (length, m) × ρ (density, g/cm3) × 1/1000

The calculation formula for the theoretical weight of various steels is as follows:

Round steel wire rod (kg/m)

d = diameter mm

For round steel with a diameter of 100 mm, find the weight per m. Weight per m = 0.006165 ×1002=61.65kg

d = section diameter mm

For rebar with a cross-section diameter of 12 mm, find the weight per m. Weight per m=0.00617 ×12 2=0.89kg

Square steel (kg/m)

W = 0.00785 ×a ×a

a = side width mm
