Structural Steel Estimator
Calculate structural steel weights and costs for I-beams, channels, angles, plates, hollow sections, and custom profiles.
What is the Structural Steel Estimator?
The Steel Calculator estimates weights and costs for all types of structural steel sections. From standard I-beams and H-sections to channels, angles, tubes, and plates — input section profiles and lengths to get instant weight calculations. The tool includes a comprehensive steel section library with standard profile dimensions.
