Imperial bar designations represent the bar diameter in fractions of inch, such that #8 = 88 inch =
1 inch diameter. Area = (bar size/9)2 such that area of #8 = (8/9)2 = 0.79 in2. This applies to #8 bars and
smaller. Larger bars have a slightly larger diameter than the one computed using the inch convention.
