D10 10m rebar — 5.6 kg per bar
A D10 10m bar weighs 5.6 kg. The 0.56 kg/m comes from the 71.33 mm² cross-section of a 9.53 mm nominal diameter times a density of 7850 kg/m³, so 100 bars are 560 kg and a tonne holds 178 bars.
D13 is a name, 12.7 mm is the diameter
The 13 in D13 is a label; the diameter that goes into the formula is 12.7 mm, inherited from a half inch. Feed the label into the formula and you get 1.042 kg/m, 5 % heavier than the standard value of 0.995 kg/m. The same choice is why a ribbed bar can be treated as a smooth cylinder at all: the standard sets the nominal diameter so that it reproduces the real mass.

Worth knowing
- Weight per metre (kg/m) is π/4 × nominal diameter² × 7850 ÷ 10⁶ — that is the 0.006165 factor.
- What goes into the formula is the nominal diameter, not the label: D13 means 12.7 mm.
- Total weight is weight per metre × length × count, and doubling the diameter quadruples the weight.
- An order adds lap splices, roughly 40 diameters each, and 3 to 5 % for waste.
Common questions
Q. How much does one D10 10m bar weigh?
5.6 kg — 0.56 kg/m times 10 m. Ten bars come to 56 kg and a hundred to 560 kg.
Q. How many bars make a tonne?
178. That is 1000 divided by 5.6 kg, and 100 bars weigh 0.56 t. Ordered with 5 % waste, those 100 become 588 kg.
Q. Where does 0.56 kg/m come from?
The 71.33 mm² cross-section of a 9.53 mm nominal diameter, converted to m² and multiplied by a density of 7850 kg/m³. Using the label 10 instead would give 0.617 kg/m, which is wrong.
