Steel Weight Calculator

Estimate the weight of common carbon steel shapes — plate, sheet, bar, pipe, tubing, angle, channel, and beam — in imperial or metric units. Formulas and assumptions are shown with every result.

Inputs

Formula: Weight = thickness × width × length × density.
Assumptions: plain carbon steel density 0.2836 lb/in³ (490 lb/ft³); nominal dimensions; tube/angle results use sharp-corner approximations and run slightly heavy versus published section weights.

Estimates are for planning only — they never replace certified engineering data or verified scale weights. Confirm exact weights with Shamrock when ordering.
