All values are theoretical weights for carbon steel at 490 lb/ft³ (0.2836 lb/in³, 7.85 g/cm³), in US customary units with the metric equivalent. For stainless steel multiply by about 1.02, for aluminum by about 0.344.

W beam weight chart (wide flange, AISC)

W shapes are named by nominal depth and weight: a W8x31 is about 8 in deep and weighs 31 lb/ft. Dimensions are the AISC detailing values; the weight is the nominal weight in the designation.

HSS square tube weight chart

Square hollow structural sections (ASTM A500). Weights are calculated from the nominal wall thickness with an outer corner radius of 2t, the same basis the AISC Manual uses for the listed weight; the design wall thickness for ERW tube is 0.93 t.

Formulas

lb/ft = area (in²) × 3.4028 · lb/ft² = thickness (in) × 40.84 · kg/m = lb/ft × 1.4882 · 1 lb = 0.4536 kg
