L 50x50x8
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 50x50x8 steel profile weighs 5.6 kg/m (3.79 lb/ft), has a depth of 50.8 mm (2.00 in), flange width 50.8 mm (2.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 740.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 17.26 cm⁴, Iy = 17.26 cm⁴.
