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.
