Calculation Principle
The tool calculates theoretical linear weight based on:
Weight = Cross-sectional Area × Steel Density
- Cross-sectional area is based on standard geometric formulas for each beam profile type
- Steel density used: 7850 kg/m³ (or 0.284 lbs/in³)
- Result shows the weight per meter or per foot
