🔹 Calculation Formula
Weight per meter (kg/mtr) for equal angle:
(2 × Leg Length – Thickness) × Thickness × 0.00785
Weight per meter (kg/mtr) for unequal angle:
(Leg A + Leg B – Thickness) × Thickness × 0.00785
For lbs/ft, the density factor changes to 0.284 lb/in³ with unit conversions applied.
🔹 FAQ
Q: Can I calculate in both metric and imperial units?
Yes. Simply select the unit system (kg/mtr or lbs/ft) before calculating.
Q: What types of angle iron does this calculator support?
Both equal and unequal leg steel angles.
Q: Is the result theoretical or actual?
This provides theoretical weight based on dimensions and standard steel density.
Q: Does it support stainless steel or aluminum?
Currently, it uses standard carbon steel density (7850 kg/m³). Other materials may
