Reference tables for choosing steel

Classifications, weight tables, calculation formulas and chemical composition tables covering the different stages of steel production.

Steel Bar Weight Formulas

With sizes entered in millimetres, these give the approximate weight in kilograms of one metre of bar.

Round (d):Weight per metre = d² × 0.616100 kg
Rectangle (a×b):Weight per metre = a × b × 0.785100 kg
Square (a):Weight per metre = a² × 0.785100 kg
Hexagon (s):Weight per metre = s² × 0.68100 kg
For tubes and plates too, use the calculator above

Density of Some Metals (relative to steel)

MaterialFactor
Aluminium bronze0.981
Copper1.131
Lead1.431
Aluminium0.341
Bronze1.111
Gunmetal (red brass)1.121
Grey cast iron0.921
Phosphor bronze1.121

Steel = 1. To find the weight of the same size in another material, multiply the steel weight from the formulas by the factor in the table.

Size & Weight Tables

Because they hold so many figures, the tables are shown as images of the originals. Click a table to enlarge it. The tables have Turkish headings: dış çap = outside diameter, et kalınlığı = wall thickness, genişlik = width, kalınlık = thickness, yuvarlak = round, kare = square, altıköşe = hexagon.

Chemical Composition Tables

Chemical composition ranges and typical uses of carbon, case-hardening, free-cutting and quenched and tempered steels. Click a heading to open the table.
