Weight per Beam vs Beam Weight
Steel Beam Weight
Weight = Weight per Foot x Length
Steel beams are designated by their weight per linear foot (e.g., W8x31 weighs 31 lbs/ft). Multiply by the cut length to get the total weight for ordering, shipping, and crane planning.
Example Calculation
One W8x31 beam, 20 feet long.
- 01Weight = 31 x 20 = 620 lbs
