Steps
- Open equal angles in the catalog. Select the equal-angle (L) section.
- Choose leg × thickness. Pick the size row matching your designation (e.g. 50×50×5).
- Note kg/m. Use the listed theoretical kg/m.
- Calculate total. kg/m × length × quantity for procurement estimates.
Quick example
L 50×50×5 at ~3.8 kg/m × 12 m ≈ 45.6 kg per bar (verify in catalog).
FAQ
Equal vs unequal angle? This guide covers equal legs; unequal angles use different section tables.
Can I use volume × density? Yes for custom sizes; catalog kg/m is faster for standard L profiles.
