Standard or custom weight

Standard presets use published designation weight in pounds per foot. Custom mode estimates a sharp-corner angle from leg dimensions and 490 lb/ft³ steel density.

Source and limitation

Standard shape data follows the AISC Shapes Database v16.0. Custom geometry omits fillets and rolling tolerances, so use a mill certificate or supplier table for purchasing weight.

No capacity calculation

This tool calculates mass and optional material cost only. It does not select a section or verify strength, stability, connections or loads.
