Steel equal angle weight per metre
A 50 × 50 × 5 mm steel equal angle weighs 3.729 kg per metre (2.506 lb/ft): the area of its section, 475 mm², times the density, 7850 kg/m³ (carbon steel).

Each size opens the calculator with it, for any length, quantity or material.
- Worked out with sharp corners. Hot-rolled angles have root and toe radii and weigh a little more than these figures: for anything ordered or designed by weight, use the manufacturer's table.
- Density 7850 kg/m³, the calculator's typical value for carbon steel; a figure from the supplier's data sheet beats it.
How it is worked out
Weight per metre = area of the section × density. For 50 × 50 × 5 mm the area is 475 mm², so 475 × 7850 ÷ 10⁶ = 3.729 kg/m. A piece is that times its length in metres.
