TMT Steel Bar weight calculator comes in handy when civil contractors, engineers, or architects ask builders or owners to get a particular quantity of TMT steel bars for construction.
The requirement for steel bars might be in the number of rods (pieces), the number of bundles (kg) or metric tons (mt) as it is the most recommended method by engineers and contractors.
“TMT steel bars are available from 8mm to 32mm as the requirements for the size also vary depending on the application and structure of the building.”
Points to keep in mind about TMT steel bar weight
- The length of the TMT Steel Bar is 12 meters in general standard.
- Weight Tolerance of TMT steel bars is IS 1786:2008 as per IS guidelines.
- The different sizes (diameter) of TMT steel bars produced are 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm.
- The TMT steel bars are generally calculated in kilogram, ton, or quintal (1 Quinta = 100 kg, 1 Ton = 1000 kg).

TMT Steel Bar Weight Conversion Calculator
FAQs
The formula for weight of steel bar is W=D2L/162.
Here,
W= Weight of the TMT Steel Bars
D= Diameter of TMT Steel Bar in Millimetre (mm)
L= Length of TMT Steel Bar in Meter (m)
For example, the weight of a steel bar with 60m length and 12 mm diameter will be,
If we substitute the variables of the weight of steel bars formula, the calculation would be:
W=122 x 60/162=53kgs
The weight of steel bar varies according to its diameter and length of it. Typically, 8mm and 1m TMT steel bars would weigh between 0.375 & 0.400.
The formula for weight of steel bar per meter is W=D21/162
For example, if it’s an 8mm steel bar, the formula would be 821/162, which equals 0.395 kgs.
TMT steel bar weight is typically denoted in kilograms (kgs), Tonne (T or Ton) and Pounds (lbs).
