ABS Square Angle Weight Calculator:

Enter the vales of width, W_(cm), thickness of the tube, T_(cm) and Length, L_(cm) to determine the value of Weight, W_(g).

ABS Square Angle Weight Formula:

The weight of an ABS square angle is primarily determined by the material’s density. ABS, being a thermoplastic polymer, has a relatively low density compared to metals, making it lightweight. The density of ABS is typically around 1.04 g/cm³. This low density makes ABS square angles suitable for applications where weight savings are crucial.

A square angle is a structural shape with two legs that meet at a 90-degree angle, forming an “L” shape.

The weight of the square angle depends on the cross-sectional dimensions (width and thickness of the legs) and the length of the angle.

The larger the cross-sectional area and the longer the angle, the more material is used, and hence, the heavier the angle will be.

The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to bending or torsion. For a square angle, the moment of inertia depends on the distribution of material around its centroid.

A higher moment of inertia indicates greater resistance to bending under load. This is important in structural applications where the square angle may need to support significant weight without bending.

Weight, W_(g) in grams equals the difference between the square of width, W_(cm) in centimetres and the square of the difference between width, W_(cm) and thickness of the tube, T_(cm) in centimetres then divided by 2 and multiplied by Length, L_(cm) in centimetres and density of the ABS material, d_(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetre.

Weight, W_(g) = ( [ W²_(cm) – (W_(cm)– T_(cm))² ] / 2 ) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

W_(g) = weight in grams, g.

W_(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.

T_(cm) = thickness in centimetres, cm.

L_(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.

d_(g/cm3) = density in grams per cubic centimetres, g/cm³.

ABS Square Angle Weight Calculation:

1. An ABS square angle has a width of 6 cm, thickness of 0.8 cm, length of 150 cm, and the density of ABS plastic is 1.04 g/cm³. Calculate the weight of the angle.

Given: W_(cm) = 6cm, T_(cm) = 0.8cm, L_(cm) = 150cm, d_(g/cm3) = 1.04g/cm³.

Weight, W_(g) = ( [ W²_(cm) – (W_(cm)– T_(cm))² ] / 2 ) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

W_(g) = ([6² – (6 – 0.8)²] / 2 ) * 150 * 1.04

W_(g) = (8.96 / 2) * 150 * 1.04

W_(g) = 4.48 * 150 * 1.04

W_(g) = 698.8g.

2. An ABS square angle has a side length 8 cm, wall thickness 1.2 cm, material density 0.0012 g/cm³ and the angle weighs 432g. Calculate the length of the angle.

Given: W_(cm) = 8cm, T_(cm) = 1.2cm, W_(g) = 432g, d_(g/cm3) = 0.0012g/cm³.

Weight, W_(g) = ( [ W²_(cm) – (W_(cm)– T_(cm))² ] / 2 ) * L_(cm) * d_(g/cm3)

L_(cm) = W_(g) / ( [ W²_(cm) – (W_(cm)– T_(cm))² ] / 2 ) * d_(g/cm3)

L_(cm) = 432 / ([8² – (8 – 1.2)²]) * 0.0012

L_(cm) = 432 / 8.88 * 0.0012

L_(cm) = 40555.56cm.
