Ø14 Rebar — Weight, Area & Ordering Numbers

Ribbed reinforcing bar B500 per EN 10080 / DIN 488

Ø14 rebar weighs 1.21 kg per meter — the nominal value every supplier and engineer uses, from the 154 mm² nominal cross-section at 7,850 kg/m³ (ribs are already accounted for: the nominal diameter is defined so that mass, not outside size, matches). A standard 12 m mill bar weighs 14.52 kg, so one tonne is about 68 bars or 826 meters.

These numbers are what you need to turn a cutting list in meters into an order in kilograms — and to check a delivery note against what actually arrived on the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does 14 mm rebar weigh per meter?

1.21 kg per meter (nominal, B500 per EN 10080). The quick site formula is d²/162: 14² / 162 ≈ 1.209 kg/m.

How many Ø14 bars are in a tonne?

About 68 bars of 12 m (14.52 kg each), or 137 bars of 6 m. One tonne of Ø14 is roughly 826 meters of bar.

What is the cross-section area of Ø14 rebar?

154 mm² nominal — the value used in reinforcement schedules. For example, 5 bars of Ø14 give 770 mm² of steel.

What is the US equivalent of Ø14 rebar?

The closest US bar is #4 (12.7 mm, 0.994 kg/m). US sizes are numbered in eighths of an inch, so exact matches are rare — check the required steel area, not just the diameter.
