Eg:1. 2" x 2" x 6mm M.S.Angle - 20 ft
2. 10mm MS Plate - 30 sq ft.
3. 4" M.S.Pipe - 25 Feet
How to get the weight of the above items.

Find the volume of the given object and multiply by density of steel.
eg. volume of M.S. angle = (1.2 + 2)*6.0/25.4*20*12 cu.in.
multiply this value by density of steel in similar units.
volume of MS plate = 30*10/304.8 cu. ft.
volume of M.S. pipe (circular) = length*(O.D. - I.D.)*(O.D.-I.D.) *3.1415

To get the weight of steel, it is best to remember that a square foot of steel 1/4" thick weighs about 10lbs (actually it is 10.2).
You can go on with your calculations for other geometrical shapes from there.

Most places that sell steel do so by the pound and therefore have tables that give the weight per running foot for pipe and tubing and angle and weight per square foot for plate.
For example,
