tungsten flat bar weight calculator
Enter the dimensions of a tungsten flat bar and this works out its volume and weight. Pure tungsten. Sintered tungsten-carbide tooling is nearer 14900.
- Weight of one flat bar
- 5.775
- Volume of one piece
- 300
- Weight per metre of length
- 5.775 kg/m
- Density used
- 19 250 kg/m3
Show the working
- Width = 50
- Thickness = 6
- Length = 1000
- Number of pieces = 1
- volume_mm3 = 50 * 6 * 1000 = 300 000
- Volume of one piece = 300 000 / 1000 = 300
- Density used = 19250 = 19 250
- Weight of one flat bar = 300 000 * 19 250 / 1e9 = 5.775
- Total weight = 5.775 * 1 = 5.775
- Weight per metre of length = 300 000 / 1000 * 1000 * 19 250 / 1e9 = 5.775
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- Volume = width x thickness x length
- Weight = volume x density, with density = 19250 kg/m3
- One cubic millimetre of a material at 1000 kg/m3 weighs exactly one milligram, so the millimetre-to-kilogram step is a shift of the decimal point rather than a rounded factor.
Pure tungsten. Sintered tungsten-carbide tooling is nearer 14900.
Dimensions are nominal. Mill tolerances on thickness, and the corner radii on formed sections, both move the real weight by a percent or two.
Every field takes inches or feet as readily as millimetres: change the unit next to it and the conversion is done exactly before the arithmetic starts.
Frequently asked
What is the density of tungsten?
19250 kg/m3, which is 19.250 g/cm3. Pure tungsten. Sintered tungsten-carbide tooling is nearer 14900.
How do you calculate the weight of a tungsten flat bar?
Volume = width x thickness x length. Multiply the volume by the density of tungsten, 19250 kg/m3, taking care that both are in the same unit system.
Can I enter dimensions in inches?
Yes. Each dimension field has its own unit selector, and inch, foot, millimetre, centimetre and metre entries are all converted exactly before anything is multiplied.
Where the numbers come from
- Densities are nominal room-temperature values for the grade named, drawn from the usual mill and handbook figures.
