Rebar size conversions are useful for concrete slabs, footings, foundations, retaining walls, columns, beams, driveways, patios, masonry reinforcement, structural drawings, and material takeoffs.
Use this converter when comparing US bar sizes, metric rebar sizes, diameter, area, unit weight, and total bar weight.
Your result shows the selected rebar size converted into diameter, cross-sectional area, weight per foot, weight per meter, and estimated total weight for the length and bar count entered.
Rebar sizing for structural concrete depends on engineering design, spacing, cover, grade, lap length, concrete strength, building code, and project specifications. This converter is for size comparison and estimating only.
#4 rebar is 0.500 inches in diameter, or about 12.7 millimeters.
#5 rebar is 0.625 inches in diameter, or about 15.875 millimeters.
US rebar sizes are based on eighths of an inch. For example, #6 rebar is 6 eighths of an inch, or 3/4 inch diameter.
#4 rebar weighs about 0.668 pounds per foot, or about 0.994 kilograms per meter.
No. This converter compares rebar dimensions and weights. Correct rebar size depends on structural design, loads, code, spacing, and engineering requirements.
