Area per foot width at common spacings
For slab or wall reinforcement specified as “#6@ spacing c/c” — the area provided per unit width at each standard centre-to-centre spacing.
| Spacing | As (in²/ft) |
|---|---|
| #6 @ 4in c/c | 1.325 |
| #6 @ 6in c/c | 0.884 |
| #6 @ 8in c/c | 0.663 |
| #6 @ 9in c/c | 0.589 |
| #6 @ 10in c/c | 0.530 |
| #6 @ 12in c/c | 0.442 |
| #6 @ 16in c/c | 0.331 |
Equivalent options at 6in spacing
Every US bar size at the same reference spacing, so you can see at a glance which other size lands near the same area per unit width as #6.
| Bar | As (in²/ft) |
|---|---|
| #3 | 0.221 |
| #4 | 0.393 |
| #5 | 0.614 |
| #6 (this bar) | 0.884 |
| #7 | 1.203 |
| #8 | 1.571 |
| #9 | 1.999 |
| #10 | 2.534 |
| #11 | 3.123 |
| #14 | 4.502 |
| #18 | 8.002 |
Area and mass are computed directly from the nominal diameter (mass assumes standard steel density, 7850 kg/m³) — the same values the Rebar Calculator uses.
