Questions

How do I compute the weight of rebar?

Weight per metre in kg = d² ÷ 162, with d in millimetres. A 16 mm bar weighs 16² ÷ 162 = 1.58 kg/m; a 6 m bar weighs about 9.5 kg.

How many pieces can I cut from one bar?

Stock length ÷ cut length, rounded down. From a 6 m bar you get four 1.4 m pieces and a 0.4 m offcut.

What stock lengths are there?

Commonly 6, 7.5, 9, 10.5 and 12 m — choose per line; the order summary counts each length separately.

Does the cut length include hooks and laps?

Type the full cut length including hooks, bends and lap splices; the allowance % covers extra waste.

Do I have to sign up?
