Steel & Continuous Casting
Steel Billet Weight & Length Calculator
Calculate theoretical billet weight, required length, pieces per tonne and pieces per heat for square, rectangular or round sections.
This tool provides a preliminary engineering calculation for reference. Final equipment selection, design and commissioning decisions must consider manufacturer data, applicable standards, operating conditions and project-specific engineering requirements. It is not certified design output.

Formula
m = ρ A L
L = m/(ρA)
Worked example
150 × 150 mm square billet, 6 m, density 7850 kg/m³.
Expected check: Theoretical billet weight = 1059.75.
Assumptions
- • Uniform solid section
- • Editable density represents the selected grade and temperature basis
Limitations
- • Does not include corner-radius, scale, crop, shrinkage or dimensional tolerance
- • 7850 kg/m³ is not universal for every grade or temperature
Frequently asked questions
Can this result be used for final equipment selection?
No. Use it for a preliminary check, then verify manufacturer data, site conditions, applicable standards and the complete system design.
What does formula version 1.0.0 mean?
It identifies the exact calculation logic used so a saved result can be traced when the formula register changes.
Can Elexorn review my calculation?
Yes. Transfer the result to Request a Quote or Talk to an Elexorn Engineer and add the relevant project or equipment details.
