Iridium Angle
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Iridium Angle calculated?
Angle weight (kg/m) = thickness × (height + width − thickness) × density / 1000. One metre of 40 × 40 × 4 mm Iridium Angle weighs about 6.870 kg.
What is the density of Iridium?
The density of Iridium is taken as 22.6 g/cm³ (22,600 kg/m³).
Iridium Angle weight table for standard sizes
| Size (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| 20 × 20 × 3 | 2.509 |
| 30 × 30 × 3 | 3.865 |
| 40 × 40 × 4 | 6.870 |
