Round bar ⌀ 19 in steel — 13.35 kg a piece
Round bar ⌀ 19 weighs 13.35 kg. Its 283.53 mm² section times a density of 7850 kg/m³ gives 2.226 kg/m, so 100 pieces come to 1335.42 kg and a tonne holds 74.
Only the section formula changes with shape
Plate and flat bar are thickness × width, square bar is side², round bar is π/4 × diameter². Tubes are the outside section minus the inside one: π/4 × (outside² − inside²) for round tube, outside² − inside² for box section, where the inside size is the outside less the wall on both faces, outside − 2t. Subtract the wall only once and you get a tube with half the wall and roughly half the weight — that factor of two is the single most common slip in this calculation.

Worth knowing
- Weight per metre (kg/m) is section in mm² ÷ 10⁶ × 7850 — only the section formula changes with shape.
- For plate, thickness × 7.85 is the weight per m²: 47.1 kg/m² at 6 mm, twice that at 12 mm.
- For tube, subtract the inside section from the outside one; the inside size is the outside less 2t.
- Doubling a dimension quadruples the section, while length is directly proportional to weight.
Common questions
Q. How much does one Round bar ⌀ 19 weigh?
13.35 kg — 2.226 kg/m times its length. Ten pieces come to 133.54 kg and a hundred to 1335.42 kg.
Q. How many pieces make a tonne?
74. That is 1000 divided by 13.35 kg, and 100 pieces weigh 1.335 t.
Q. Where does 2.226 kg/m come from?
The section is π/4 × d², which gives 283.53 mm²; convert that to m² and multiply by a density of 7850 kg/m³. With the dimensions in hand you get the same number without any table.
