Estimated linear weight.
Explanation
What this calculates
The hollow void is removed from the outside square area before calculating linear steel weight.
Formula
Area = outside area - inside void area; weight = area x density x length
Inputs are validated on screen and converted where unit options are available.
Worked Example

Calculator questions.
Does this include corner radii?
No. It is an estimating calculation. Manufacturer section tables should be used for final procurement.
Can I use this for RHS?
Use the RHS calculator when width and depth are different.
