Crowd Control Barriers Price How to calculate ?
To calculate the price of a crowd control barrier, we begin by determining its total weight. Using this weight, we then break down the costs by calculating the price for each specific type of steel tube utilized in the barrier’s construction. By multiplying the weight of each steel tube by its corresponding price, we can establish the total raw material cost.
After determining the material cost, we factor in additional elements such as manufacturing, labor, galvanization (if necessary), and transportation costs. We then add these components to the material cost to calculate the final price of the crowd control barrier.
This methodical approach ensures precise pricing based on the weight of materials and the inclusion of production-related costs. We will use the following crowd control barrier specifications as a reference for calculating its price:

Segmented Approach to Calculating the Weight of a Crowd Control Barrier ?
When calculating the weight of a crowd control barrier, we employ a segmented approach to analyze each component of the barrier. Based on the provided image and specifications, we can break down the barrier into the following parts for easier calculation:
- OD38mm x 1.5mm tube sections: This includes the round top section and the bottom rail.
- Upright tubes: These consist of OD16mm x 1.2mm tubes positioned vertically across the barrier.
- Base plate: Comprising dimensions of 500mm x 50mm x 10mm, it includes a 100mm upright tube for support.
- Female and male hooks: These parts are used for connecting barriers together. total length male and female 170mm
By calculating the weight of each part separately, we can accurately determine the total weight of the crowd control barrier, which will be essential for further cost calculations.

Weight caculated
First, we need to calculate the weight of one meter of OD38mm x 1.5mm galvanized steel tube. The calculation process is as follows:
To calculate the weight of a 38mm x 1.5mm x 1000mm steel tube, you can follow these steps:
- Identify the dimensions: The steel tube has an outer diameter (OD) of 38mm, a wall thickness of 1.5mm, and a length of 1000mm (1 meter).
- Use the weight formula: The general formula for calculating the weight of a steel tube is:
Weight (kg) = (Outer Diameter – Wall Thickness) × Wall Thickness × 0.02466 × Length (m). - Substitute the values:
- Outer Diameter = 38mm
- Wall Thickness = 1.5mm
- Length = 1 meter
- Constant = 0.02466 (used to convert millimeters to kilograms)
- Perform the calculation:
Plug the values into the formula and solve.
Weight (kg) = (38mm – 1.5mm) × 1.5mm × 0.02466 × 1 meter
The result will give you the weight of the tube.
By following this method, we calculated the weight to be approximately 1.35 kg for a 1-meter section of a 38mm x 1.5mm steel tube.
Round top（ arched frame）Caculated
Due to the base plate’s thickness of 10 mm, the total height of the barriers will be 1,080 mm and female and male locking equal to 170mm
| Parameter | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Total Horizontal Width (W_c) | 2000 mm – 2 × 19 mm | 1962 mm |
| Total Vertical Height (H_c) | 1080 mm – 19 mm | 1061 mm |
| Horizontal Straight Length (L_straight) | 1962 mm – 2 × 166 mm | 1630 mm |
| Arc Length per Bend (S_bend) | π × 166 mm / 2 | ~260.8 mm |
| Total Arc Length (S_total bend) | 2 × 260.8 mm | 521.6 mm |
| Vertical Straight Length (L_vertical) | 1061 mm – 166 mm | 895 mm |
| Total Vertical Length (L_total vertical) | 2 × 895 mm | 1790 mm |
| Total Pipe Length (L_total) | 1790 mm + 521.6 mm + 1630 mm | 3941.6 mm |
| Total Pipe Length in Meters | 3941.6 mm ÷ 1000 | 3.94 meters |
Total weight : 3.94 meters x 1.35kg =5.319kg
Bottom Rails caculated
The total length of the crowd control barriers is 2170mm, including the male and female locking mechanism, which together measure 170mm. After deducting the 170mm for the locking mechanism, the overall dimension is reduced to 2000mm. The frame consists of two tubes, each 38mm in diameter, resulting in a bottom rail length of 2000mm – 76mm = 1924mm.
The total weight is calculated as 1.924m × 1.35kg, which equals 2.6kg.

| Side Margins (Each Side) | – | – | 105.15 |
| Total Width of Barrier | – | – | 2,000 |
| Number of Vertical Pipes Needed | – | – | 16 |
With a total barrier width of 2,000 mm, the two outer pipes take up 76 mm. Adding 16 vertical pipes uses an additional 256 mm. The spacing between these pipes, at 97.18 mm each, totals approximately 1,457.7 mm. Together, all components occupy about 1,789.7 mm, leaving 210.3 mm for side margins. This configuration ensures that the barrier is balanced and structurally sound with 16 vertical pipes.
So total need 16 x 914mm x 0.44kg/m =6.43kg

Treatment price for crowd control bariers
The price of Powder coating ranges from 0.3 to 0.8 Australian dollars per kilogram, depending on the type of polyester used. For example, standard export-grade polyester costs around 0.3 AUD per kg, while AkzoNobel powder, known for its excellent anti-aging and UV resistance properties, can reach 0.8 AUD or higher. For this calculation, we will use a mid-range price of 0.55 AUD per kg. The cost of hot-dip galvanizing (ranging from 300 grams to 600 grams per square meter) varies between 0.5 and 1.0 AUD per kg, meeting international shipping standards. However, in this case, we will focus solely on calculating the price of powder-coated crowd control barriers.It is worth mentioning that after polyester powder coating, the total weight of each crowd control barrier will increase by 2.5% to 3.5%.

Materials and surfacetreatment cost & price
Since China is a major steel producer with significant overcapacity, the price of steel in China is generally much lower than the local price in Australia. For a rough estimate, you can refer to this link: https://www.sunsirs.com/uk/sectors-13.html.
For example, if today’s steel price is 1,000 Australian dollars per ton, and the total weight of our barrier is 19.329 kg, with polyester coating costs at 0.55 AUD per kg, the final price calculation would be:
19.329 kg x (1.00 AUD + 0.55 AUD) = 29.96 AUD.
This price includes both the cost of raw materials and surface treatment.
Welding & Labor force cost
Typically, the welding cost for standard crowd control barriers ranges from 1 to 4 Australian dollars per meter. Taking the midpoint of 2.5 AUD per meter, a 2.0-meter crowd control barrier would have a welding cost of approximately 5 AUD. This ensures a strong and secure assembly of the barrier components, contributing to the overall durability and stability of the product.
Freight cost
The freight cost consists of two components: domestic freight and ocean freight from China to Australia. The domestic freight cost is relatively fixed at 1,100 AUD, while ocean freight ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 AUD. For estimation purposes, we can calculate the total freight cost as 1,100 AUD + 2,000 AUD, resulting in approximately 3,000 AUD. If one 40HC container can load 1,000 kits, the freight cost per kit would be around 3 AUD.
Supplier profit
Chinese crowd control barrier suppliers typically operate with very low profit margins, often around 2.00 AUD per unit. This competitive pricing strategy allows them to maintain a strong position in the global market while delivering cost-effective solutions. However, despite these low profit margins, they manage to achieve economies of scale through large production volumes, which helps offset the limited per-unit profit. This approach enables them to offer high-quality products at competitive prices, while maintaining their profitability through high sales volumes.
