Use this MS Angle Calculator to find the total weight and price of Mild Steel Angles (Equal or Unequal). Dimensions follow IS 808:1989, and material grade as per IS 2062:2011.

IS 2062 specifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of structural steel (material quality and strength), while IS 808 defines the dimensions, sectional properties, and theoretical weights of rolled steel sections such as angles, channels, beams, and tees.
Example: An ISA 50 × 50 × 5 angle made from E250 Grade (IS 2062) follows IS 808 for dimensions and IS 2062 for strength.
MS Angles are produced by hot rolling steel billets into L-shaped cross-sections. They offer strength, rigidity, and weldability, making them ideal for frames, supports, and structural bracing.
The weight of MS angles depends on leg dimensions, thickness, and length. Theoretical weights are calculated using the density of steel (7.85 g/cm³) and standard IS 808:1989 sizes.
*Theoretical values may vary slightly depending on BIS manufacturing tolerances.
You can calculate angle weight using this standard formula:
Weight (kg) = (Leg A + Leg B - Thickness) × Thickness × 0.00785 × Length
Where:
Leg A and Leg B = side lengths in mm
Thickness = wall thickness in mm
Length = length in meters
Example:
For a 50×50×5 mm MS angle of 6 meters length:
Weight = (50 + 50 - 5) × 5 × 0.00785 × 6 = 11.07 kg
