2024 aluminum angle weight calculator

Enter the dimensions of a 2024 aluminum angle and this works out its volume and weight. Copper-bearing aircraft alloy.

Total weight
1.3205kg
= Exact 2024 aluminum angle weight

Volume of one piece
475
Weight per metre of length
1.3205 kg/m
Density used
2780 kg/m3
Show the working
  1. Leg A = 50
  2. Leg B = 50
  3. Thickness = 5
  4. Length = 1000
  5. Number of pieces = 1
  6. volume_mm3 = (50*5 + (50 - 5)*5) * 1000 = 475 000
  7. Volume of one piece = 475 000 / 1000 = 475
  8. Density used = 2780 = 2780
  9. Weight of one angle = 475 000 * 2780 / 1e9 = 1.3205
  10. Total weight = 1.3205 * 1 = 1.3205
  11. Weight per metre of length = 475 000 / 1000 * 1000 * 2780 / 1e9 = 1.3205

Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

    The formula

    • Volume = (A x t + (B - t) x t) x length, ignoring the root and toe radii
    • Weight = volume x density, with density = 2780 kg/m3
    • One cubic millimetre of a material at 1000 kg/m3 weighs exactly one milligram, so the millimetre-to-kilogram step is a shift of the decimal point rather than a rounded factor.

    Copper-bearing aircraft alloy.

    Dimensions are nominal. Mill tolerances on thickness, and the corner radii on formed sections, both move the real weight by a percent or two.

    Every field takes inches or feet as readily as millimetres: change the unit next to it and the conversion is done exactly before the arithmetic starts.

    Frequently asked

    What is the density of 2024 aluminum?

    2780 kg/m3, which is 2.780 g/cm3. Copper-bearing aircraft alloy.

    How do you calculate the weight of a 2024 aluminum angle?

    Volume = (A x t + (B - t) x t) x length, ignoring the root and toe radii. Multiply the volume by the density of 2024 aluminum, 2780 kg/m3, taking care that both are in the same unit system.

    Can I enter dimensions in inches?

    Yes. Each dimension field has its own unit selector, and inch, foot, millimetre, centimetre and metre entries are all converted exactly before anything is multiplied.

    Where the numbers come from

    • Densities are nominal room-temperature values for the grade named, drawn from the usual mill and handbook figures.
