Note: The length unit in the formula is meters, the area unit is square meters, and the remaining units are millimeters. The above weight x unit price of materials is the material fee, plus surface treatment + working hours of each process + packaging materials + shipping fee + tax + interest rate = quoted price (FOB).

The oretical weight calculation of steel
The unit of measurement for calculating the theoretical weight of steel is kilogram (kg). The basic formula is:
W (weight, kg) =F (section area mm²) ×L (length m) ×ρ (density g/cm³) ×1/1000
The theoretical weight calculation formula of various steels is as follows:
Round steel rod (kg/m)
W = 0.006165 * d * d
d= diameter mm
100mm diameter round steel, weight per m.
Weight per m =0.006165×100²=61.65kg
Rebar (kg/m)
W = 0.00617 * d * d
d= section diameter mm
Rebar with section diameter of 12mm, weight per m.
Weight per m =0.00617×12²=0.89kg
Square steel (kg/m)
W = 0.00785 * a * a
a= side width mm
Square steel with side width of 20mm, weight per m.
Weight per m =0.00785 ×20²=3.14kg
Flat steel (kg/m)
W = 0.00785 * b * d
b= side width millimeters
d= mm thick

Weight per m =0.00785×40×5=1.57kg
Hexagonal steel (kg/m)
W = 0.006798 * s * s
s= distance from opposite side mm
For hexagonal steel with a distance of 50mm from the opposite side, find the weight per m.
Weight per m =0.006798×502=17kg
Octagonal steel (kg/m)
W = 0.0065 * s * s
s= distance from opposite side mm
The octagonal steel with a distance of 80mm on the opposite side is required to obtain the weight per m. Weight per m =0.0065×802=41.62kg

r= radius of the end arc
Find the weight per m of 20mm x 4mm equilateral Angle steel. From the metallurgical product catalog, it is found that the R of 4mm×20mm equilar Angle steel is 3.5 and 1.2, then the weight per m =0.00785×[4× (2× 20-4) +0.215× (3.52-2×1.2²)]=1.15kg

R= inner arc radius
r= radius of the end arc
Find the weight per m of 80mm x 43mm x 5mm channel steel. From the metallurgical product catalog found that the channel steel t is 8, R is 8, r is 4, then the weight per m =0.00785×[80×5+2×8× (43 -- 5) +0.349× (82 -- 4²)]=8.04kg

Find the weight of 250mm×118mm×10mm I-steel per m. From the metal material manual, it is found that the I-steel t is 13, r is 10, and r is 5, then the weight per m = 0.00785×[250×10+2×13× (118-10) +0.615× (10² - 5²)]=42.03kg
Steel plate (kg/m²)
