How to calculate ‘I’ Section Angle Weight?


Flange = 150 mm x 5 mm x 1 m

Web = 140 mm x 10 mm x 1 m



Volume of Flange = 150 mm x 5 mm x 1 m


= 0.150 m x 0.005 m x 1 m


= 0.00075 m3


There are two number of flange,

= 0.00075 x 2

= 0.0015 m3


Volume of Web = 140 mm x 10 mm x 1 m …..(150 mm – 10 mm = 140 mm)


= 0.140 m x 0.010 m x 1 m


= 0.0014 m3


Volume of ‘I’ Section = Volume of Flange + Volume of Web


= 0.0015 + 0.0014

= 0.0029 m3


Weight of ‘I’ Section = Volume of ‘I’ Section x Density of steel


= 0.0029 x 7850...........(Density of steel is 7850 kg/ m3)

= 22.765 kg
