equation m=pv

“m” is the mass of the object.

V is what you have to calculate as the volume.
p is the density.

The website is simplifying this formula into situation speci c equations

which can be derived from common variables you might know.

this formula is one simple way to calculate rebar weight based on

experience. You can also calculate based on the round steel weight
calculation formula above.
