How rebar is made.
A one-minute animation of the electric arc furnace route, from scrap to bundled bars: melting, refining, casting, rolling, quenching and testing. A general overview of the process.
Weights by size.
Nominal weights per diameter, for a 12 m bar, from a density of 7,850 kg/m³. For other lengths and quantities use the weight calculator.
| Diameter mm | kg per metre | kg per 12 m bar | Bars per tonne |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0.617 | 7.40 | 135.2 |
| 12 | 0.888 | 10.65 | 93.9 |
| 14 | 1.208 | 14.50 | 69.0 |
| 16 | 1.578 | 18.94 | 52.8 |
| 18 | 1.998 | 23.97 | 41.7 |
| 20 | 2.466 | 29.59 | 33.8 |
| 25 | 3.853 | 46.24 | 21.6 |
| 32 | 6.313 | 75.76 | 13.2 |
Grade 60 or Grade 80.
Saudi Building Code SBC 304 is based on ACI 318, and Saudi drawings and contracts usually specify reinforcing bars to ASTM A615. Grade 60 and Grade 80 are named after their minimum yield strength in ksi; the metric names, Grade 420 and Grade 550, give it in MPa.
| Property | Grade 60 (420) | Grade 80 (550) |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum yield strength | 420 MPa | 550 MPa |
| Minimum tensile strength | 620 MPa | 725 MPa |
The grade is the designer's decision: anchorage, lap lengths and the number of bars are calculated for the grade on the drawings, so changing it needs the designer's written approval. If the drawings call for weldable or seismic bars to ASTM A706, say so in the request. Figures from ASTM A615/A615M; always check the edition your contract names.
Before the material submittal.
Three things to confirm before you submit rebar for approval on a Saudi project.
- The standard and grade written in the contract and on the drawings, for example ASTM A615 Grade 60.
- The mill test certificate: heat number, grade, size, mechanical properties and chemical composition. All test certificates are available for our bars.
- Whether the project requires third-party testing, and how many samples.
How to ask for a quotation.
The more complete the request, the faster the quotation.
- Sizes and the tonnage of each, or the full bar bending schedule. You can prepare it in the weight calculator or RebarPlan.
- The grade: Grade 60 or Grade 80.
- Whether you need cutting to length, or epoxy-coated bars.
- Project city and delivery site, and payment method: direct payment or letter of credit.

Common questions
Which sizes are available?
Reinforcing bars in 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25 and 32 mm, in 12 m lengths, in Grade 60 and Grade 80.
Can the bars be cut to a bending schedule?
Yes. Cutting to the lengths you need is available. Send the bar bending schedule or cut lengths with the quotation request.
Is epoxy-coated rebar available?
Yes, epoxy coating is available. Mention it in the quotation request with the sizes and quantities.
When is delivery?
Delivery is immediate after payment or after the letter of credit is opened.
Are test certificates available?
Yes, all test certificates are available.
Where does supply come from?
Al Rajhi Steel has two mills, in Riyadh and Jeddah, and branches in Riyadh, Jeddah, Qassim and Taif, with shipping to every region of Saudi Arabia.
What is the difference between Grade 60 and Grade 80?
Minimum yield strength: 420 MPa for Grade 60 and 550 MPa for Grade 80, under ASTM A615. Grade 80 is stronger, but the grade on the drawings is the designer's decision, and changing it needs the designer's written approval.
Which rebar standard do Saudi projects use?
Usually ASTM A615, or ASTM A706 for weldable and seismic bars, as written in the project contract and drawings. Saudi Building Code SBC 304 is based on ACI 318.
Do you supply 22 mm or 28 mm bars?
The listed sizes are 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25 and 32 mm. If your drawings show 22 or 28 mm, mention it in the quotation request so it can be confirmed first.
How many bars are in a tonne?
For 12 m bars: about 93.9 bars of 12 mm, 52.8 bars of 16 mm and 33.8 bars of 20 mm per tonne. The table above gives every size.
How can I pay?
By direct payment or by letter of credit. Delivery is immediate after payment or after the letter of credit is opened.
