L 50x50x5

AISC — Angle Section

Angle sections (L shapes) are used for bracing, connections, lintels, and built-up members. Available in equal and unequal leg configurations.

The L 50x50x5 steel profile weighs 3.6 kg/m (2.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 50.8 mm (2.00 in), flange width 50.8 mm (2.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 464.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 11.42 cm⁴, Iy = 11.42 cm⁴.
