Steel (Metal) Bar Calculator
A steel bar calculator is designed to estimate steel (iron) rods for slabs or roofs. It’s only applicable for square and rectangle shape slabs or roofs. This tool will help you to estimate steel rods for slabs or roofs. To find this estimate, we will need some parameters for example length of the slab or roof, the gap between two rods or bars, bar diameters, per feet weight of the rod, and price per kilogram.

Steel (Metal) Bar Calculator Concept
We designed this calculator on the concept of a graph for example as we have an axis in a graph same we use this concept in the calculator. As the graph has an x-axis and a y-axis similarly length X represents the x-axis while length Y is representing the y-axis.
Scaling in the graph you see in the graph which is the value of x and y axis same we use gap X and gap Y. This is the main concept we used in the calculator.

Parameters
The steel (metal) bar estimate calculator has the following parameters.
Length X
Length X is the first length of the slab or roof. Length X should be in inches.
Length Y
Length Y is the second length of the slab or roof. Length Y should be in inches.
Gap X
Gap X is the space between two bars or rods along the x-axis. Gap X should be in inches.
Gap Y
Gap Y is space between two bars or rods along the y-axis. It can be the same for the x-axis. Gap Y should be in inches.
Diameter X
Diameter X is the first layer of rods in the slab or roof. It determines the thickness of the bar or rod. Its thickness can be greater than the second layer. Higher diameter rods are used in the first layer.
This parameter can be customized if the diameter value does not exist.
Diameter Y
Diameter Y is the second layer of rods in the slab or roof. It determines the thickness of the bar or rod. Its thickness can be low than the diameter of X or the first layer or the same.
This parameter can be customized if the diameter value does not exist.
Weight X
Weight X represents the weight of one foot of rod weight with diameter X. Weight X should be in grams.
This parameter can be customized if the diameter value does not exist.
Weight Y
Weight Y represents the weight of one foot of rod weight with diameter Y. Weight Y should be in grams.
This parameter can be customized if the diameter value does not exist.
Price X
Price X represents the price of one kilogram of the rod. It depends on diameters.
Price Y
Price Y represents the price of one kilogram of the rod. It depends on diameters.
These are the parameters we used.
Algorithm of Calculator
The following steps are involved in this algorithm.
Step: 01 Take length X
Take length X of slab or roof.
Length X = {value};
Step: 02 Take length Y
Take length Y of slab or roof.
Length Y = {value};
Step: 03 Take Gap X
Take gap X, then find to gap along the x-axis.
Gap X = {value};
Total Gap X = Length X / Gap X;
This is an example, of how we calculate Gaps for X and Y. This diagram shows length X 72 inches while length Y is 36 inches. Both gaps (X and Y) are 6 inches.
So, we calculate gaps for this example.
Total Gap X = Length X / Gap X
Total Gap X = 72 / 6
Total Gap X = 12 Gap X
When we mathematically calcite then answers are 12 gaps along X-axis while we count gaps on gaps then the answer is 13 gaps and this is the correct answer. So, we will add one extra gap on both axes (X and Y).
Then,
Total Gap X = (Length X / Gap X) + 1;
X-axis bars or rods length
After finding Gap X the next thing to do is find the total bar length on the x-axis. Here notice one thing, you are not to do multiple length X with total gaps X. Here, total gaps X will multiply with length Y.
X-axis bar length = Length Y x Total Gap X
Step: 04 Take Gap Y
Here we will take the gap size along Y-axis.
Gap Y = {value};
Total Gap Y = (Length Y / Gap Y) + 1
Y-axis bars or rods length
Y-axis bar lengths are similar to the X-axis bar lengths.
Y-axis bar length = Length X x Total Gap Y
Step: 05 Conversion (inches to feet)
Now here convert x-axis and y-axis bar length into feet.
X-axis Bar Length in Feet = X-axis bar length / 12
And,
Y-axis Bar Length in Feet=Y-axis bar length / 12
Step: 06 Diameter X
Take diameter X, weight X, and price X rely on diameter.
Diameter X = {value}
Weight X
When you take diameter then find how much weight is in one foot of bar with diameter X. Hence you get weight and then multiply it with,
Weight X = {value}
Total Weight X = X-axis Bar Length in Feet x Weight X
Price X
When you calculate weight, then simply take the price for bars with diameter X.
Price X = {value}
Then,
Total Price X-axis = Total Weight X x Price X
Step: 07 Diameter Y
Take the diameter for the Y-axis bar.
If diameters X and Y are the same then we sum up X-axis and Y-axis bar length and then diameter used to find weight and price.
Diameter Y = {value}
Weight Y
When we get the diameter the next step is weight.
Weight Y = {value};
This weight is one foot of the bar with a diameter Y. then find the total weight.
Total Weight Y = Y-axis bar length in Feet x Weight
Price Y
Get the price of the one-kilogram bar with a diameter of Y.
Price Y = {value}
Then,
Total Price Y = Total Weight x Price Y
Step: 08 Total Price
Finally, we will calculate the total price (Price X and Price Y).
Total Price = Total Price X + Total Price Y
