Example : A Square of size 25mm and length 1 metre then the weight shall be. 25 * 25 * .00000785 * 1000mm = 4.90 kgs / metre MS ROUND WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 * 0.00000785 * ((diameter / 2)*( diameter / 2)) * LENGTH. Example : A Round of 20mm diameter and length 1 metre then the weight shall be. 3.14 * 0.00000785 * ((20/2) * ( 20/2)) * 1000 mm = 2.46 kgs / metre SS ROUND DIA (mm) * DIA (mm) *
