Imperial bar designations represent the bar diameter in fractions of ⅛ inch, such that #8 =
8⁄8 inch = 1 inch diameter. Area = (bar size/9)2 such that area of #8 = (8/9)2 = 0.79 in2.
This applies to #8 bars and smaller. Larger bars have a slightly larger diameter than the
one computed using the ⅛ inch convention.
Metric bar designations represent the nominal bar diameter in millimeters, rounded to the
nearest 5 mm.
[Edit] Grades
Rebar is available in different grades and specifications that vary in yield strength,
ultimate tensile strength, chemical composition, and percentage of elongation.
The grade designation is equal to the minimum yield strength of the bar in ksi (1000 psi)
for example grade 60 rebar has a minimum yield strength of 60 ksi. Rebar is typically
manufactured in grades 40, 60, and 75.

Historically in Europe, rebar is composed of mild steel material with a yield strength of
approximately 250 N/mm². Modern rebar is composed of high-yield steel, with a yield
strength more typically 500 N/mm². Rebar can be supplied with various grades of
ductility, with the more ductile steel capable of absorbing considerably greater energy
when deformed - this can be of use in design to resist the forces from earthquakes for
example.
