How it was calculated

The weight is the section area multiplied by the material density:

kg/m ≈ t × (2a − t) × 0.00785 plus a small correction for the root radius, per EN 10056.

For Angle 45×45×5, the section area is 4.30 cm², so 1 metre = 4.30 × 0.785 = 3.378 kg.

The real weight can differ by a few percent because of rolling tolerances. For other materials or lengths use the calculator.
