Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate steel quantity?

To calculate the quantity of steel required, you can use the steel quantity calculator. The formula is:

Steel Quantity (kg) = Volume of Concrete (m³) × Steel Ratio (kg/m³)

The steel ratio varies with construction type. For example, slabs often use around 80 kg/m³.

How do you calculate the weight of steel in kg?

To determine the weight of steel in kg, use:

Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Weight per meter (kg/m)

For instance, a 12 mm rebar at 0.888 kg/m weighs:

10 m × 0.888 kg/m = 8.88 kg.

What is the density of steel?

The density of steel is approximately:

7850 kg/m³ or 495 lb/ft³.

What is the steel formula?

The formula to calculate steel weight is:

Weight (kg) = (π / 4) × d² × L × 7850

Where d is the diameter in meters, and L is the length in meters.

How do you calculate the volume of steel?

To calculate the volume of steel, use:

Volume (m³) = Weight (kg) / Density (kg/m³)

Alternatively, use:

Volume = π × (d/2)² × L

How many kg is a 10 mm rod?

A 10 mm diameter rod weighs approximately:

0.785 kg/m

For 1 meter, the weight is 0.785 kg.
