TMT bar weight chart
Weight of TMT bars by diameter, per metre and per standard 12 m bar, so you can estimate how much steel to order.
Formula
Weight (kg per metre) = D² ÷ 162, where D is the bar diameter in millimetres. For a 12 mm bar: 12 × 12 ÷ 162 = 0.889 kg per metre.
| Diameter | kg per metre | kg per 12 m bar | Bars per tonne |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | 0.222 | 2.67 | 375 |
| 8 mm | 0.395 | 4.74 | 210 |
| 10 mm | 0.617 | 7.41 | 135 |
| 12 mm | 0.889 | 10.67 | 93 |
| 16 mm | 1.580 | 18.96 | 52 |
| 20 mm | 2.469 | 29.63 | 33 |
| 25 mm | 3.858 | 46.30 | 21 |
| 32 mm | 6.321 | 75.85 | 13 |
Calculated weights. Actual bars can vary within the tolerance allowed by IS 1786, so billing is by actual weighed weight.
