Steel Grating Weight Calculator
Calculate the weight of any steel bar grating specification — per m², per panel, and total order weight. Supports carbon steel, stainless 304/316, and aluminum. Bearing bar and cross bar independently calculated.
Bearing Bars
Bar depth / height H
Web thickness T
Centre-to-centre spacing
Cross Bars
Round = π/4·d²·ρ, Square = d²·ρ
Diameter (round) or side (square)
Centre-to-centre spacing
Material & Panel Size
Density g/cm³
Default 6000mm export
Default 1000mm width
Number of panels ordered
Adds ~610 g/m² zinc coating per ISO 1461
Formula Reference
Bearing Bar (kg/m²):
W_bb = H × T × ρ / P_bb
Cross Bar — Round (kg/m²):
W_xb = π/4 × d² × ρ / P_xb
Cross Bar — Twisted Square:
W_xb = d² × ρ / P_xb
Total weight:
W = W_bb + W_xb (kg/m²)
H, T, d in mm; P in mm; ρ in g/cm³ = kg/dm³. Convert: W_bb = (H/1000 × T/1000 × ρ × 1000) / (P_bb/1000) = H × T × ρ / P_bb.
