Aluminium round bar weight per metre
A 20 mm aluminium round bar weighs 0.848 kg per metre (0.570 lb/ft). For any diameter: kg/m = d² ÷ 471.6, with d in mm, because the density is 2700 kg/m³ (aluminium 6060–6082).

How it is worked out
Weight per metre = area of the section × density. A round bar's area is π × d² ÷ 4, so kg/m = π × d² ÷ 4 × 2700 ÷ 10⁶ = d² ÷ 471.6. A piece is that times its length in metres.
