Estimate and convert steel weight for plate, flat bar, round bar, square bar, pipe, tube, angle, and rebar using pounds, kilograms, tons, metric tons, weight per foot, and weight per meter.
Pounds to kilograms:
kg = lb × 0.453592
Kilograms to pounds:
lb = kg × 2.20462
Pounds to US tons:
tons = pounds ÷ 2,000
Steel estimate:
weight = volume × steel density
Steel weight conversions are useful for steel plate, flat bar, beams, pipe, tube, round bar, square bar, rebar, fabrication, welding, structural material takeoffs, shipping, and construction estimating.
Use this converter when switching between steel volume estimates, total weight, unit weight, imperial units, and metric units.
Your result shows the estimated steel weight for the selected shape, dimensions, length, and quantity. It also shows equivalent values in pounds, kilograms, US tons, metric tons, pounds per foot, and kilograms per meter.
This converter is for estimating and unit conversion. Actual steel weight can vary by alloy, shape tolerance, mill standards, coatings, holes, cutouts, and manufacturer data.
Steel is commonly estimated at about 490 pounds per cubic foot.
Steel is commonly estimated at about 7,850 kilograms per cubic meter.
Find the plate volume from length, width, and thickness, then multiply by steel density.
Multiply pounds by 0.453592. For example, 100 pounds is about 45.36 kilograms.
No. This converter estimates solid shape weight. Subtract hole, cutout, or coping volume separately if needed.
