Typical hex bolt assembly weights

Size × lengthBolt only+1 nut, 2 washers
M12 × 40≈ 52 g≈ 75 g
M16 × 50≈ 118 g≈ 172 g
M20 × 60≈ 250 g≈ 350 g
M24 × 80≈ 462 g≈ 637 g
M30 × 100≈ 913 g≈ 1,255 g

Weights follow the geometry: shank = π/4 × d² × L × 7.85×10⁻⁶ kg, plus a hex head of ≈1.22·d³, nut ≈0.93·d³ and washer ≈0.33·d³ (DIN 931/934/125 proportions in steel). Real manufactured weights vary about ±5% with thread length and head tolerance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an M20 bolt weigh?

An M20 × 60 hex bolt is roughly 250 g; a full assembly with one nut and two washers is about 350 g. Each extra 10 mm of length adds ~25 g.

Why calculate fastener weight?

Galvanising is priced per kg, freight is booked by weight, and dispatch lists need it — 5,000 M20 assemblies is ~1.75 tonnes of steel.

Is this exact?

It's a geometric approximation to DIN proportions, typically within ±5%. For contractual weights use the manufacturer's certified table.
