Rebar Tons to Meters Converter
Convert steel reinforcement weight to length based on ISO diameter standards. Calculates total running meters for inventory and ordering.
About
Ordering reinforcement steel (rebar) is typically done by weight (Tons), but on-site construction application is measured in length (Meters). To reconcile the order against the structural drawings, engineers must convert the delivered tonnage into running meters. This calculation varies exponentially with the diameter of the bar.
This tool uses standard ISO/DIN specific weights to perform the conversion accurately. It eliminates the need for manual lookups in steel tables and allows for summing multiple batches of different diameters, which is crucial for verifying delivery notes against structural schedules.
Formulas
The formula derives length from the total mass and the specific linear density of the steel.
Where wspec is the specific weight in kg/m.
