What a length of ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 weighs

Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 at six metres each is 23.45 × 6 × 10 = 1,407 kg. There is nothing else to it — the standard publishes the mass, so no one needs to compute it from the area.

You can check that mass against the area on this page: 29.8 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 23.39 kg/m. Every row in this dataset was checked that way, which is how the contradictions flagged on some of these pages were found.

Common questions about ∠ 130 × 130 × 12

What is the weight of ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 per metre?

IS 808 : 2021 gives ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 a mass of 23.45 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 29.8 cm² agrees: 29.8 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 23.39 kg per metre.

How much does a 6 m length of ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 weigh?

140.70 kg. Mass per metre times length: 23.45 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 1407 kg.

Is ∠ 130 × 130 × 12 the same as ISA 130x130x12?

It is the same section under the name IS 808 : 2021 gives it — the 2021 revision of IS 808 dropped the "IS" prefix, so a drawing saying ISA 130x130x12 means this section. Check the edition before assuming the figures match, though: this page publishes the current tables, and a great many tables in circulation were copied from the 1989 edition.

Where these figures come from. IS 808 Table 9 - Equal Leg Angles Section properties are facts published in the standards, and they are reproduced here as printed. Where a standard contradicts itself, both of its figures are shown and neither is corrected.

What is ours. The selection and arrangement of these tables, the checks run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording. Quote the numbers freely; they belong to everyone. Copying the compilation and the commentary is a different thing, and we would rather you linked to it.
