Theoretical Steel Weight Calculation Formula (30 Types of Metals)

Steel Weight calculation formula

The steel weight calculation formula is:

Weight (kg) = Sectional Area (mm2) × Length (m) × Density (ρ, g/cm3)× 1/1000

Above is the formula to calculate the steel weight in kg.

For the metal density, you can also refer to:

P.S.: In the following section, among all the formulas for calculating the weight of steel, two types, I beam steel and H beam steel, have not been mentioned.

If you are interested in learning the difference between H beam steel and I beam steel, and the methods for calculating their weight, you can check out the following two quick links:
