When it comes to reinforced concrete construction, choosing the right size and grade of TMT bars is critical. Among the various available options, the 10mm TMT rod stands out as a popular choice for medium-load applications in beams, slabs, and columns. Understanding the 10mm rod weight helps in accurate project planning, cost estimation, and ensuring structural strength.
The standard formula used to calculate the weight of steel rods is:
Weight (kg/m) = (D² × 162) / 1000
where D = diameter of the rod in millimeters
For a 10mm rod:
Weight = (10 × 10 × 162) / 1000 = 16.20 kg for a 12-meter rod
So, the weight of a 10mm rod per meter is approximately 0.785 kg.
For a full-length 12-meter rod, the approximate weight is 9.42 kg.
Rod Length (in meters) | Approx. Weight (kg) |
1 meter | 0.785 kg |
6 meters | 4.71 kg |
12 meters | 9.42 – 10 kg |
100 meters | 78.5 kg |
Note: Weight may slightly vary depending on the brand and manufacturing standards.
The 10mm rod is known for its flexibility and strength, making it suitable for various structural applications such as:
