Input console

Tuned defaults are preloaded. Edit only the dimensions you know; results refresh automatically when the inputs are valid.

1

Density-driven shapes use the selected material grade.

Default A36
2

Use the catalog grade density or override with a project-specific density.

Default catalog
3

Choose the option that matches your job setup.

Default plate
4

Choose the option that matches your job setup.

Default imperial
5

Calculate weight from length or solve required length from a target weight.

Default weight
6

Enter direct plate thickness or use a sheet gauge chart.

Default direct
7

Structural beam, channel, and angle modes use this shared mm/in workbench input and convert internally to AISC m/ft section weights.

Range notes

Supports metric and imperial workflows.

Uses explicit shape-specific dimension checks.

Quantity and allowance are applied to order weight.

Supports catalog or custom material density with kg/m³ and lb/in³ input.

Plate, bar, pipe, and tube modes can solve required length from target weight.
