Have you ever wondered about the hidden weight of steel angles? In this blog post, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of angle steel weight calculation. As an experienced mechanical engineer, I’ll guide you through various methods and formulas to determine the weight of these essential structural components. Get ready to uncover the secrets behind the numbers and gain valuable insights that can enhance your engineering projects. Let’s explore the art and science of angle steel weight calculation together!
The weight of angle steel can be calculated in various ways, including using theoretical weight tables, online calculators, or specific formulas. We can summarize several different calculation methods and formulas.
Firstly, the theoretical weight of angle steel can be calculated using its cross-sectional dimensions and material density. The specifications for angle steel are usually expressed in millimeters as width x width x thickness, for example, “∠30×30×3” denotes equal angle steel with a width and thickness of 30 millimeters and 3 millimeters respectively.
The formula for calculating the theoretical weight of angle steel is:
weight per meter = 0.00785(width + width – thickness)thickness.
This formula applies to most situations, but it’s important to note that the actual weight may vary slightly.
For specific specifications of angle steel, such as 40X40 angle steel with a thickness of 4mm, the weight per meter can be calculated using its density ρ=7850 kilograms/cubic meter.
In addition, there are dedicated equal angle steel theoretical weight tables that provide the theoretical weight per meter for different specifications of angle steel, for example, the theoretical weight per meter for 20203 equal angle steel is 0.889kg.
The following table lists the theoretical weight of angle steel in kg/m.
If your steel size is not in the table below, you can use our steel weight calculator to calculate online.

Angle steel is a carbon structural steel used for construction. It is a simple section steel and is mainly used for metal components and frame structures of factories. It requires good weldability, plastic deformation performance, and certain mechanical strength during use.
The raw material for producing angle steel is low-carbon square steel billet, and the finished product is delivered in the form of hot-rolled shapes, normalized or hot-rolled state.
The calculation method of the weight of angle steel: Weight per meter = 0.00785 * (width + width – thickness) * thickness
You can click on the online tools below to calculate the weight of equal angle steel and unequal angle steel respectively.
The impact of different material densities on the weight calculation of angle steel primarily manifests in the calculation of theoretical weight. The theoretical weight of steel is calculated based on the nominal dimensions of the steel and its density (formerly referred to as specific gravity). This means that if the angle steel is made from materials of different densities, the calculation of its theoretical weight needs to take into account the specific density values of these materials.
