How it was calculated

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

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

For Angle 50×30×5, the section area is 3.78 cm², so 1 metre = 3.78 × 0.785 = 2.965 kg.

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