Steel angle is measured on the outside of the leg with the thickness measured in the middle of the leg. Structural angles are those whose greatest dimension (not including length) is three inches or greater. Both bar size and structural angles conform to astm a-36.
How Is Angle Iron Measured?
Angle iron is an important component of many construction projects, and knowing how it is measured is essential for anyone involved in the building process. Angle iron is made from metal plates that are cut at an angle—usually 45 or 90 degrees—and then joined along the long edge to form a right angle. This metal is used in a variety of applications, including framing, reinforcement, and support.
When angle iron is measured, the first step is to determine the size of the metal. The length, width, and thickness should all be considered in order to properly calculate the size of the angle iron. The length is measured along the longer side of the metal, while the width is measured along the shorter side. The thickness is determined by measuring the distance between the top and bottom of the metal.
Once the size of the angle iron is determined, it must then be measured for angles. This is done by measuring the inside and outside angles of the metal. The inside angle is the angle formed between the two sides of the metal, while the outside angle is the angle that is formed between the two sides and the surface the metal is resting on. Both of these angles are measured using a protractor.
