How to Calculate Angle Weight

Calculating the weight of an angle is simple. You need to know the measurements of the two sides, thickness, length, and material density.

The basic formula involves adding the sides, subtracting the thickness, and multiplying by the thickness, length, and density. By dividing the result by 1000, you’ll get the weight in kilograms.

To calculate the weight of an angle, you typically use the following formula:

Formula

Weight (kg) = [(Side A + Side B — Thickness) × Thickness × Length × Density] / 1000

Where:

• Side A and Side B are the lengths of the two sides of the angle (in mm).
• Thickness is the thickness of the angle (in mm).
• Length is the length of the angle (in meters).
• Density is the density of the material (in kg/m³).

For example, if you are calculating the weight of a mild steel angle:

• The density of mild steel is approximately 7850 kg/m³.

Example:

For an angle with:

• Side A = 40 mm
• Side B = 40 mm
• Thickness = 3 mm
• Length = 1 meter
• Density = 7850 kg/m³

You plug these values into the formula to get the weight.
