The weight is determined by the amount of metal contained in a one foot length of a 4 inch diameter round rod. To find the amount of the aluminum's weight by volume, do the following:

Find the cross-sectional area of the circle at the end of the round rod:

Radius (r) = diameter/2 = (4 inches)/2 = 2 inches

Area (A) = radius(squared) * PI = (2)^2 * 3.14159 = 12.566 square inches

Multiply by the length of the rod:

Volume (V) = Area * Length = 12.566 sq.in. * 12 inches = 150.8 cubic inches

According to the page at

What_is_the_weight_of_one_cubic_inch_of_6061_aluminum

, the weight of one cubic inch of 6061 alluminum alloy is .0975 lb. So multiply the volume of the round rod in cubic inches by this weight:

Total weight (W) = 150.8 cubic inches * .0975 lb. = 14.7 lb. (Answer!)

If you happen to have had an Aluminum bar that was rectangular instead of round, the area would be instead calculated as A= width * height, and all subsequent calculations afterwards would remain the same.

Why are there railings on a bar?

I assume the 'railings' mean the horizontal bar that often runs on the floor along the foot of the bar. If this is the case, the bar is there so a patron standing or leaning while drinking at the bar can put a foot on it - so the rail is a foot bar.

What is 162 in bar weight?

In weightlifting, a standard barbell typically weighs 45 pounds (20.4 kg) in the U.S. If you're referring to 162 pounds in bar weight, that would mean the total weight on the bar, including the bar's weight itself. To find the weight of the plates, you would subtract the bar's weight from 162 pounds, resulting in 117 pounds of weight plates added to the bar.
