We know the formula D2/162 which is being used for calculate unit weight of reinforcement per meter.

Here I am willing to explain how it has been arrived D2/162 (Note: D unit is in MM)

Weight of bar per meter = Area of steel bar X Density of steel x Length of bar

= (3.14 x D2/4) x 7850 kg/m3 x 1 m

= D2 X 6162.25/(1000x1000)

= D2 X (0.006162)

= D2 X 1/(0.006162)-1

= (D2/162.28)

The actual value is D2/162.28

Kindly note that this function is only applicable for circular shape steel which density is 7850kg/m3
