Calculation Of Weight Of 201 Stainless Steel Angle

1. How to Calculate the Weight of 201 Stainless Steel Angle Bar

The theoretical weight of a stainless steel angle bar depends on its section dimensions, length, and density of the material.

Formula:

where:

W = width of the leg (mm)

T = thickness (mm)

0.00793 = density constant for 201 stainless steel (7.93 g/cm³)

2 = number of legs in the L-shaped profile

Example:

For an equal angle of 40 × 40 × 4 mm:

So, a 6-meter bar weighs:2.54 × 6 = 15.24 kg

This simple formula helps engineers estimate total weight for transportation, fabrication, and cost calculation.

What's the density difference between 201 and 304 stainless steel?
201 ≈ 7.93 g/cm³; 304 ≈ 7.98 g/cm³ - the difference is minor, but weight per meter is slightly less for 201.

 

Can 201 stainless steel rust?
Yes, if exposed to high humidity or chloride environments. For marine or chemical use, consider 304 / 316 grades.

 

How do I choose between equal and unequal angle bars?
Equal angle bars provide uniform strength on both legs, while unequal bars suit structural frames and reinforcement corners.

 

price of 201 stainless steel angle bar

Due to stable nickel prices and increased demand from construction and machinery industries, the price of 201 stainless steel angle bar remains competitive:

Region	Price Range (USD / ton, FOB)
China	$1,450 – $1,750 / ton
Southeast Asia	$1,600 – $1,900 / ton
Middle East	$1,700 – $2,000 / ton

Compared with 304 angle bars (around $2,300 – $2,800 / ton), 201 is 20–30% cheaper, offering a strong price advantage for large-volume structural use.
