I-balk / H-balk
The I-balk / H-balk calculator estimates steel weight from your dimensions using default density 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³). Enter length, quantity, and optional unit price to get weight per piece, total kg, and cost.
Reference: carbon steel density 7.85 g/cm³ = 7850 kg/m³ (adjustable in the calculator).

Select the shape and enter section dimensions in mm, m, in, or ft.
2. Set material and length
Confirm density (default 7.85 g/cm³) for I-balk / H-balk, then enter length and quantity.
3. Read results
View weight per meter, per piece, and total weight in kg (and optional price).
FAQ — I-balk / H-balk
- What steel density does the I-balk / H-balk calculator use?
- The default is 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³) for carbon steel. You can change density and material in the calculator for stainless or other alloys.
- How is I-balk / H-balk weight calculated?
- Weight = section volume × density. The tool applies the geometry formula for I-balk / H-balk and multiplies by length and quantity.
- Can I share I-balk / H-balk calculation results?
- Yes. Use the share link or PDF export on the calculator page to send dimensions, kg/m, and totals.
