📌 FAQs
❓What is angle iron?
A: Angle iron is a piece of structural steel or aluminum shaped like an “L,” used in construction, fabrication, and framing.
❓Can I use this for stainless steel or other metals?
A: Yes! The calculator supports mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. We plan to expand to more materials soon.
❓Is this calculator accurate?
A: Absolutely! We use industry-standard density values to ensure accurate results.
❓ How to calculate angle weight?
To calculate angle weight, use the formula:
(Width + Height – Thickness) × Thickness × Length × Density ÷ 1,000,000
This gives the weight in kilograms. You’ll need the dimensions in millimeters and the material’s density (e.g., 7850 kg/m³ for steel).
❓ How to calculate the weight of angle?
You can calculate the weight of an angle by multiplying the cross-sectional area with the material’s density and the angle’s length. Or simply use our Angle Weight Calculator to get accurate results instantly.
❓ How to calculate weight of angle?
To calculate the weight of an angle manually:
Find the cross-sectional area: (Leg A + Leg B – Thickness) × Thickness
Multiply by Length (in meters)
Multiply by Material Density Divide by 1,000,000 to convert mm³ to m³ for final weight in kg.
❓ How to calculate weight of angle iron?
Use the formula or calculator that considers:
Leg A
Leg B
Thickness
Length
Material density (e.g., steel = 7850 kg/m³)
Our tool automates this with instant accuracy.
❓ How to calculate weight of steel angle?
To calculate the weight of a steel angle:
Input the width, height, thickness, and length into the formula.
Use steel’s density: 7850 kg/m³ Or, use our Steel Angle Weight Calculator to save time and avoid manual errors.
