How much weight would these hold?

I want to mount a 30 pound metal object that is approximately 15 in x 16 in. I would place two of these below and one above to hold the object in place. Will these hold 30 pounds?

They look pretty beefy. The more important thing is to anchor them properly to your wall surface. I like to use long lag screws into wall studs or a 2x block running horizontal inside the wall. Short of that, you can create a "ledger" board which fastens to the wall first and then you secure the brackets to the board.
