This article explains how to calculate the weight of steel profiles using simplified and precise formulas, as well as ready-made tables. The accompanying spreadsheet lets you enter your own dimensions and select different materials, including copper, aluminium, and nickel alloys. Feel free to download and use the tool.

How to calculate the weight of steel profiles?

Exact formula: {external height [mm] × external width [mm] - internal height [mm] × internal width [mm]} × length [m] x 7,85 / 1000

Table:
