Dimension equal angle bar

[surris]

What dimension is needed for an equal-leg angle to support a load of 500kg distributed over the entire surface? Span 3.6m.

Do you have any requirements for maximum deflection?

3-5mm

Freely laid on two supports.
500 kg distributed load.
3.6m between the supports.
Lying with one of the flat sides on the supports.

Angle bar 120x120x11 results in just over 4mm deflection.
