Angle (L-Section) Weight Calculator
Equal/unequal MS angle weight from legs and thickness.
ISA 50×50×5 = 3.8 kg/m, matching the IS 808 table. The (A+B−t) avoids double-counting the corner square.
Formula
Angle (L-Section) Weight Calculator is a free angle weight for structural engineers, fabricators and site engineers — instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Angle (L-Section) Weight Calculator
Equal/unequal MS angle weight from legs and thickness. The calculation implements kg/m = (A + B − t)×t×0.00785 (IS 808 / IS 2062). ISA 50×50×5 = 3.8 kg/m, matching the IS 808 table. The (A+B−t) avoids double-counting the corner square.
