Calculation of theoretical steel weight
The unit of measurement for calculating the theoretical weight of steel is kilogram (kg). The basic formula is:
W (weight, kg) = F (cross-sectional area mm2) × L (length, m) × ρ (density, g/cm3) × 1/1000
The calculation formula for the theoretical weight of various steels is as follows:

d = section diameter mm
For rebar with a section diameter of 12 mm, find the weight per m. Weight per m=0.00617 ×12 2=0.89kg
