Measure, Plan, and Save with Steel Weight Calculator
- Fast and precise — no need to manually compute formulas or convert units
- Supports multiple profiles — round bars, square bars, pipes & tubes, flat plates and more
- Flexible inputs — accepts dimensions in m, mm, cm, ft or inches
- Helps with planning — useful for cost estimates, shipping, material procurement, and project budgeting
How the Calculator Works
All weight calculations follow this basic principle:
Weight=Volume×Density
- Compute volume – based on the shape (e.g. for a round bar, πr2×length)
- Apply density – for common structural steel, we use ~ 7,850 kg/m³
- Convert units – dimensions are often in mm or inches; the tool handles conversion internally
Each shape (round, square, flat, plate,) has its own volume formula incorporated automatically for you.
How to Use the Calculator
- Select the shape/profile you want to calculate.
- Enter required dimensions (length, diameter, thickness, etc.).
- Choose units (m, mm, cm, ft, inch).
- Click “Calculate” and see your result in kilograms (or pounds, if unit option selected).
The result updates instantly without needing a login or extra steps.
Applications & Benefits
- Accurate costing & estimation — ensures you order the right weight
- Logistics & transport planning — know the weight before shipping
- Inventory control & waste reduction — avoid over-ordering or material shortfalls
- Project proposals & bids — add confidence to your cost breakdowns
- Engineering & fabrication — designers and fabricators can verify volumes quickly

Do you have questions?
How can I calculate the weight of steel online?
You can quickly estimate the weight of any steel component using our Steel Weight Calculator — just select the shape, enter dimensions, and get accurate results in kilograms or pounds instantly.
What density does the steel calculator use for weight estimation?
Our calculator uses the standard density of 7,850 kg/m³ for structural steel, ensuring precise and consistent weight results across different profiles.
Can I calculate the weight of other metals with the steel calculator?
Yes, you can. The calculator works for stainless steel, mild steel, and even alloy steels since most have similar density values, ensuring accurate results for multiple metal types.
Why is using a steel weight calculator important for project planning?
A steel weight calculator helps with accurate material estimation, cost planning, and logistics—ensuring you order just the right amount of steel for your fabrication or construction needs.
