Solid Rectangular Bar Section Modulus Calculator | Structural Strength in mm³/in³

Quickly Calculate Section Modulus of Solid Rectangular Bars: This free online tool helps you calculate the section modulus (Z) of a solid rectangular bar with just two inputs: width and height. It’s ideal for engineers, designers, and metal fabricators analyzing structural strength, especially in bending applications.

Solid Rectangular Bar Section Modulus Calculator

Section Modulus (Sxx/X-X Axis): cm³
Section Modulus (Syy/Y-Y Axis): cm³
Moment of Inertia (Ixx): cm⁴
Moment of Inertia (Iyy): cm⁴

Formulas for solid rectangular sections:

Ixx = BH³/12 | Sxx = BH²/6

Iyy = HB³/12 | Syy = HB²/6

🔷 FAQ

Q1: What is the section modulus used for?

A: Section modulus measures a bar’s resistance to bending. It’s essential in structural and mechanical design.

Q2: Is this calculator suitable for hollow or I-beams?

A: No, this calculator is only for solid rectangular bars. Use dedicated tools for hollow or I-shaped profiles.

Q3: Can I use inches as input units?

A: Yes. Simply select “inches” before calculating to get results in in³.

Q4: Can this be used for bending setup?

A: Yes, it’s useful for estimating material behavior under bending loads, especially in profile bending operations.
