Steel Weight Formula Pakistan Standard
Weight (kg) = Diameter² ÷ 162 × Length (meters)
The standard formula used in Pakistan construction: W = D² / 162 × L, where D is diameter in mm and L is length in meters. For feet: convert to meters first (1 foot = 0.3048 meters) or use the simplified formula W = D² / 533 × L (feet). This calculator uses the standard formula and converts feet to meters internally for accurate results.

Steel prices in Pakistan in April 2026: FF Steel Grade-60 is Rs 277 per kg. Grade-40 steel is approximately Rs 255 per kg. These rates are verified from Glorious Builders' April 2026 BOQ for a 5 Marla project in Dream Garden Lahore. Steel prices fluctuate with international scrap rates and PKR exchange rate always confirm with your supplier before procurement. For a 5 Marla G+1 home requiring 4,910 kg of Grade-60: total steel cost is Rs 14.2 Lac.
A 5 Marla G+1 grey structure requires approximately 4,910 kg of Grade-60 FF Steel rebar as verified in Glorious Builders' April 2026 BOQ. At Rs 277/kg (April 2026), total steel cost is Rs 14.2 Lac. The rule of thumb is approximately 500 kg of rebar per 1,000 sqft of covered area. A 5 Marla G+1 has approximately 2,500 sqft covered area so 5,000 × 0.98 = approximately 4,900 kg total. Use our construction material calculator for a complete breakdown.
The standard steel weight formula used in Pakistan is: Weight (kg) = D² ÷ 162 × L, where D is the diameter in millimetres and L is the length in metres. Example for 16mm bar, 12 metres long: Weight = 16² ÷ 162 × 12 = 256 ÷ 162 × 12 = 1.58 × 12 = 18.96 kg. For feet: convert to metres first (multiply by 0.3048). This calculator does the conversion automatically just enter length in feet.
Grade-60 steel has a minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi (414 MPa). Grade-40 has 40,000 psi (276 MPa) 33% lower. In practical terms: Grade-60 columns and beams can carry significantly more load before yielding. This matters in seismic events, overloading, and long-term structural safety. DHA Lahore and Bahria Town require or recommend Grade-60. Grade-40 costs Rs 255/kg vs Rs 277/kg for Grade-60 a saving of Rs 34/kg. On a 5 Marla home using 4,910 kg, the Grade-40 saving is Rs 1.67 Lac but the structural compromise is permanent and irreversible.
Standard rebar sizes for residential construction in Pakistan: Columns 16mm and 20mm main bars with 8mm or 10mm stirrups. Beams 16mm main tension bars, 12mm compression bars, 8mm stirrups at 6-inch centres. Ground floor slab 12mm bars at 6-inch spacing both ways. Roof slab 10mm or 12mm at 6-inch spacing. Foundation footings 16mm or 20mm main bars with 8mm ties. Staircase 12mm main bars with 8mm distribution bars. Always verify with a PEC-registered structural engineer for your specific design.
