Hexagonal Cross-Section
Metal Hexagonal Bar Calculator
Profile Definition:
Across Flats (s): Perpendicular distance between two opposite parallel flat faces.
Length (L): Total length of the hex bar.
Corner-to-Corner: Point diameter = s ÷ cos(30°) ≈ 1.1547 × s.

How This Calculator Works
The cross-sectional area of a regular hexagon defined by distance across flats (s) is given by geometric trigonometry:
Cross-section Area: Area = (√3 / 2) × s² ≈ 0.866025 × s²
Volume (cm³): (Area mm² × Length mm) ÷ 1,000
Weight (kg): (Volume cm³ × Density g/cm³) ÷ 1,000
Carbon Steel Quick Weight: 0.006798 × s² (kg/m)
