0.62 kg/m is the unit weight of 10 mm dia, and you use the thumb rule for all other dia unit weight per metre = d*d/162 where- d is dia of bar/rod in mm
Density = mass/volumeThe unit weight of steel is 7850 kg/m3volume of bar = (πd2/4)*Lhence mass = ((πd2/4)*L)*7850= ((3.14 *d2/4)*1)*7850 for unit length= 0.785*d2*7850= 6162.25 d2 if d is in metersor d2 /162 if d is in mm.By putting the value of diameter of rod, you can calculate the unit weight of any size tmt bar.
This is a bit more technical (rolling mill side), but I’ll explain it in a simple way based on how it’s usually handled in practice. In TMT bar rolling, square → oval → round is the typical pass sequence. The calculations are mainly based on area reduction and shape transformation, not just dimensions. 🔹 1. Basic Principle The key rule followed in rolling is: 👉 Volume remains constant (before and after each pass) So, Area × Length = Constant Since length increases during rolling, cross-sectional area reduces. 🔹 2. Square Section Calculation For a square: Area = side × side Example: If square side = 20 mm → Area = 20 × 20 = 400 mm² 🔹 3. Oval Section Calculation Oval is treated like an ellipse. Area of oval = (π / 4) × Major Diameter × Minor Diameter Example: Major dia = 22 mm Minor dia = 18 mm Area ≈ 0.785 × 22 × 18 ≈ 311 mm² 🔹 4. How Rolling Pass is Designed When converting square → oval, you aim for: Controlled reduction (usually 15–25% per pass) Proper filling of grooves No overfill or underfill Reduction % formula: Reduction = (Initial Area – Final Area) / Initial Area × 100 🔹 5. Practical Flow (Simple View) A typical sequence looks like: Square (roughing pass) Diamond Oval Round (finishing) Each step: Reduces area gradually Improves shape Controls metal flow 🔹 6. Important Practical Points (from experience) Oval dimensions are not random — they are designed to spread metal evenly Too much reduction → cracks or defects Too little reduction → improper shape filling Groove design (roll pass design) matters more than just formulas 🔹 7. Simple Way to Think About It Instead of memorizing formulas, most rolling mill engineers: Start with final bar size (say 12 mm) Work backward calculating areas Distribute reduction pass by pass Adjust oval & square dimensions accordingly
Density = mass/volumeThe unit weight of steel is 7850 kg/m3volume of bar = (πd2/4)*Lhence mass = ((πd2/4)*L)*7850= ((3.14 *d2/4)*1)*7850 for unit length= 0.785*d2*7850= 6162.25 d2 if d is in metersor d2 /162 if d is in mm.By putting the value of diameter of rod, you can calculate the unit weight of any size tmt bar.
Formula for steel bar weight per meter = D2/162 where D is diameter of bar
the weight should be change by the diameter of the rod.one rod length is thirteen meter and it should be measured in meter only. The formulae to find the weight of rod is d square /162 and you wil get unit weight then multiply it in length then u got a weight of the rod.
meaning of 500 D in TMT bar
quenched and self temperedsame as TMT bars
diameter square of the bar. Divided by 162. gives W/1m length
The weight of a TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) rod can be calculated using the formula: Weight (kg) = (Diameter² × Length × 0.00617). For a 20mm diameter rod that is 12 meters long, the weight would be approximately 15 kg per meter. Therefore, the total weight of a 12-meter length of 20mm TMT rod is about 180 kg.
Thermo mechanical tempered Reinforcing bar or Structural steel
The modulus of elasticity (E) of TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) bars typically ranges from 200 GPa to 210 GPa (Gigapascals). This property indicates the material's ability to deform elastically when subjected to stress. The precise value can vary slightly depending on the specific grade and manufacturing process of the TMT bar.
