Angle Weight Calculator — Equal & Unequal Angle kg/m

Editable live calculator

Change any input — the result updates immediately

No hidden assumptions. Inputs, units and the working stay visible so you can check the calculation.

Angle dimension unit Leg A Leg B Thickness Must be smaller than both legs.Piece length unit Piece length Number of pieces Whole pieces only.Material density (kg/m³) Use a documented density.Rate per kg (optional) 0 disables cost.Target mass unit Target mass (optional) Reverse-solves whole entered-length pieces.Supplier / measured kg per metre (optional) Reports variance without replacing theoretical geometry.

Calculated result

223.73 kg · 493.23 lb

3.7288 kg/m · 2.5056 lb/ft

475 mm² ideal sharp-corner L-section area · 22.373 kg per piece

Enter rate/kg for procurement cost

Enter target mass for reverse whole-piece count

Enter supplier kg/m to compare nominal/table mass

1. Area = (50 + 50 − 5) × 5 = 475 mm².
2. Unit mass = 475 × 10⁻⁶ × 7,850 = 3.7288 kg/m.
3. Piece mass = 3.7288 × 6 = 22.373 kg.
4. Batch mass = 22.373 × 10 = 223.725 kg.

This is ideal sharp-corner geometry. Rolled angles have root/toe radii and manufacturing tolerances, so standard or mill-table mass can differ. Use certified section data for structural design, contractual mass or lifting-critical work.
