Angle Steel Weight Calculation Method

Angle steel, also known as angle iron, is a long strip of steel with two sides perpendicular to each other. Angle steel is mainly divided into two types: equilateral angle steel and unequal angle steel. It can be composed of various stress-bearing components according to different needs of the structure, and can also be used as a connector between components.

Angle steel is widely used in various building structures and engineering structures, such as house beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, cable trench brackets, power piping, busbar bracket installation, and warehouses Shelves etc. In order to accurately calculate the weight of angle steel, we need to understand the angle steel weight calculation formula. Below, we will introduce the principle and use of this formula in detail.

 Angle steel

1. Basic parameters of angle steel

Calculating the weight of angle steel requires understanding its basic parameters, including the side length, thickness and length of the angle steel. The side length and thickness determine the cross-sectional area of ​​the angle steel, while the length determines the volume of the angle steel. Therefore, these parameters are key to calculating the weight of the angle steel.

2. Angle steel weight calculation formula

The weight calculation formula of angle steel is: weight (kg) = (side width (mm) + side width (mm) - side thickness (mm)) × side thickness (mm) × length (m) × 0.00785. Among them, 0.00785 is the density of steel in kg/m³. This formula is based on the physical principle that weight equals density times volume. By substituting the angle steel parameters into the formula, the weight of the angle steel can be obtained.

It should be noted that there is an error between the calculated theoretical weight of the angle steel and the theoretical weight table. The main reason is that the corners of the angle steel, the corner arcs and the angle steel may have uneven thickness, so there is an error in the calculation of the theoretical weight.

3. Formula application examples

Taking an angle steel with a side length of 50mm, a thickness of 5mm, and a length of 6m as an example, we substitute its parameters into the formula for calculation. (50+50-5)×5×6×0.00785=22.3725kg. Therefore, the weight of this angle steel is approximately 22.3725 kg.

4. Precautions

When using the angle steel weight calculation formula, you need to pay attention to the following points:

- Ensure the accuracy of input parameters, including measurement accuracy of side length, thickness and length.

- Select the appropriate steel grade density according to the actual situation. The density of different steel types may vary slightly, so in actual applications, it needs to be adjusted according to the density of the steel type used.

- The length unit in the formula is meters, so the length needs to be converted to meters during the calculation.

By mastering the angle steel weight calculation formula, we can accurately calculate the weight of angle steel, providing strong support for material procurement and cost accounting in construction, machinery manufacturing and other fields. In practical applications, we also need to consider the specifications, materials and other factors of the angle steel based on the actual situation to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results.
