Weight per metre of length: 3.576 75 kg/m
Density used: 7530 kg/m3

Show the working

Leg A = 50
Leg B = 50
Thickness = 5
Length = 1000
Number of pieces = 1
volume_mm3 = (50*5 + (50 - 5)*5) * 1000 = 475 000
Volume of one piece = 475 000 / 1000 = 475
Density used = 7530 = 7530
Weight of one angle = 475 000 * 7530 / 1e9 = 3.576 75
Total weight = 3.576 75 * 1 = 3.576 75
Weight per metre of length = 475 000 / 1000 * 1000 * 7530 / 1e9 = 3.576 75

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 = 7530 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.

C954, strong and unusually corrosion-resistant for a copper 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 aluminium bronze?

7530 kg/m3, which is 7.530 g/cm3. C954, strong and unusually corrosion-resistant for a copper alloy.

How do you calculate the weight of a aluminium bronze angle?

Volume = (A x t + (B - t) x t) x length, ignoring the root and toe radii. Multiply the volume by the density of aluminium bronze, 7530 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.
