TMT BAR WEIGHT CHART
Standard IS 1786 unit weights for 6 mm to 32 mm TMT bars, with weight per 12 m piece and pieces per tonne — plus how the four brands we stock in Cuttack compare on grade, ductility and best use.
WEIGHT PER SIZE
Unit weight follows the IS 1786 formula d² ÷ 162 kg per metre. Standard bar length in our yard is 12 m.
| Diameter | Weight (kg/m) | Per 12 m piece | Pieces per tonne | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | 0.222 | 2.66 kg | ≈ 375 | Chairs, light mesh, small stirrups |
| 8 mm | 0.395 | 4.74 kg | ≈ 211 | Stirrups, rings, slab distribution steel |
| 10 mm | 0.617 | 7.40 kg | ≈ 135 | Slabs, lintels, staircases |
| 12 mm | 0.888 | 10.66 kg | ≈ 94 | Slabs, beams, footings |
| 16 mm | 1.580 | 18.96 kg | ≈ 53 | Beams, columns |
| 20 mm | 2.470 | 29.64 kg | ≈ 34 | Columns, heavy beams |
| 25 mm | 3.854 | 46.25 kg | ≈ 22 | Raft foundations, high-rise columns |
| 28 mm | 4.830 | 57.96 kg | ≈ 17 | Transfer beams, heavy columns |
| 32 mm | 6.310 | 75.72 kg | ≈ 13 | Bridges, industrial structures |

COMMON QUESTIONS
- How is TMT bar weight per metre calculated?
- Use the IS 1786 formula d² ÷ 162, where d is the bar diameter in millimetres. A 12 mm bar works out to 144 ÷ 162 = 0.888 kg per metre, so a standard 12 m piece weighs about 10.66 kg.
- What is the difference between Fe 550SD and Fe 550D?
- Both grades have a 550 MPa minimum yield strength. Fe 550SD (super ductile) has higher minimum elongation and a tighter UTS-to-yield ratio, which is why it is preferred in seismic zones and high-rise work. Fe 550D is the standard high-ductility grade used across most residential and commercial construction.
- Which TMT bar is best in India?
- For high-rise and earthquake-prone sites, TATA Tiscon 550SD is the safest pick. JSW Neo and Jindal Panther (both Fe 550D) are excellent for general multi-storey and load-bearing work, while Rungta Steel Fe 500D is the value option for boundary walls, slabs and repetitive budget-led work.
- How many pieces of TMT bar are in one tonne?
- Divide 1000 kg by the weight of one 12 m piece. For 12 mm bars that is 1000 ÷ 10.66 ≈ 94 pieces; for 16 mm bars it is 1000 ÷ 18.96 ≈ 53 pieces.
