≈ Rounded tungsten round bar weight Show in

Weight of one round bar: 9.449 32
Volume of one piece: 490.874
Weight per metre of length: 9.449 32 kg/m
Density used: 19 250 kg/m3

Show the working

Diameter = 25
Length = 1000
Number of pieces = 1
volume_mm3 = pi * (25/2)^2 * 1000 = 490 874
Volume of one piece = 490 874 / 1000 = 490.874
Density used = 19250 = 19 250
Weight of one round bar = 490 874 * 19 250 / 1e9 = 9.449 32
Total weight = 9.449 32 * 1 = 9.449 32
Weight per metre of length = 490 874 / 1000 * 1000 * 19 250 / 1e9 = 9.449 32

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 = pi x (diameter / 2)^2 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 round bar?

Volume = pi x (diameter / 2)^2 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.
