  1. 1.Weight per foot (from AISC)per AISC Shapes Database v16.0

    L2X2X1/4 is a listed shape; its nominal weight is a published property.

    = 3.19 lb/ft
  2. 2.Length in feet
    length (in) ÷ 12
    240 ÷ 12
    = 20 ft
  3. 3.Weight per piece
    weight per foot × length
    3.19 × 20
    = 63.8 lb
  4. 4.Total weight
    weight per piece × quantity
    63.8 × 1
    = 63.8 lb
  5. 5.Convert to tons
    total lb ÷ 2000
    63.8 ÷ 2000
    = 0.032 tons

Before you rely on this
  • Listed weight is the AISC theoretical (nominal) weight per foot. Actual mill weight varies within ASTM rolling tolerance, roughly ±2.5%.
  • This is bare member steel only. Add plates, stiffeners, connections, bolts, and coatings for a full erected-steel takeoff.

L2x2x1/4 — questions

How much does a L2x2x1/4 weigh per foot?
A L2x2x1/4 weighs 3.19 lb/ft. Over a 20-foot length that is 64 lb (0.032 tons); a 30-foot length is 96 lb.
What are the dimensions of a L2x2x1/4?
L2x2x1/4 has an actual depth of 2 in and a short leg of 2 in, a leg thickness of 0.25 in. Cross-sectional area is 0.938 in².
What is the moment of inertia and section modulus of a L2x2x1/4?
About its strong axis, L2x2x1/4 has a moment of inertia Ix of 0.3 in⁴ and a section modulus Sx of 0.25 in³, with a plastic section modulus Zx of 0.45 in³. Use these with your engineer's design values — they are geometric properties, not an allowable load.
