Steel tools
Search published steel sizes and weights, calculate material totals, and keep the reference tables close at hand.
SIZES / WEIGHTS / SPECIFICATIONS
Find your steel.
Choose a section, find a size, and calculate the weight of your cut list using published weights from Brunswick Steel’s catalogue, plus a separate Canadian rebar reference.

About the catalogue & source checks
Sizes and weights are taken from Brunswick Steel’s reference catalogue, retrieved November 4, 2026. Page links use the PDF page number; the printed page is two lower. Metric rates are converted from the published imperial weights. Expanded metal weights published per 100 square feet are normalized to lb/sq ft.
- The rectangular HSS 14 × 10 row with weight 76.07 lb/ft has no wall thickness in the source and is excluded.
- The PDF’s visible rebar table contains plate data. Rebar sizes in the selector use a separately linked AGF reference; they are not an import of that damaged table.
- All-thread rod has an inconsistent weight-unit heading in the source. Its linear basis is inferred and flagged. Safety Grip has no published weight, so its entries show dimensions only.
- Source typos and unusual dimensions are flagged where found. Use source drawings and supplier confirmation for final specifications. Grating load and deflection tables remain available in the linked source pages.
Common structural steel grades
Minimum yield and tensile strengths as published in each standard. Always design to the specification on your drawings.
| Grade | Typical use | Min. yield | Min. tensile |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSA G40.21 44W | Canadian structural shapes, plate and bar | 300 MPa (44 ksi) | 450 MPa (65 ksi) |
| CSA G40.21 50W | Higher-strength structural shapes and plate | 345 MPa (50 ksi) | 450 MPa (65 ksi) |
| ASTM A992 | W-shapes (wide-flange beams) | 345 MPa (50 ksi) | 450 MPa (65 ksi) |
| ASTM A500 Gr. C — round | Round HSS | 317 MPa (46 ksi) | 427 MPa (62 ksi) |
| ASTM A500 Gr. C — square/rect. | Square and rectangular HSS | 345 MPa (50 ksi) | 427 MPa (62 ksi) |
| ASTM A36 | Plate, bar and misc. shapes | 250 MPa (36 ksi) | 400 MPa (58 ksi) |
Canadian metric rebar (CSA G30.18)
Separate reference values retained from Merit Iron’s tools. The Brunswick PDF’s rebar table is damaged and was not used for these rows.
| Bar | Nominal diameter | Area | Mass | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10M | 11.3 mm | 100 mm² | 0.785 kg/m | 0.527 lb/ft |
| 15M | 16.0 mm | 200 mm² | 1.570 kg/m | 1.055 lb/ft |
| 20M | 19.5 mm | 300 mm² | 2.355 kg/m | 1.582 lb/ft |
| 25M | 25.2 mm | 500 mm² | 3.925 kg/m | 2.637 lb/ft |
| 30M | 29.9 mm | 700 mm² | 5.495 kg/m | 3.692 lb/ft |
| 35M | 35.7 mm | 1,000 mm² | 7.850 kg/m | 5.275 lb/ft |
