Mercury Angle
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Mercury Angle calculated?
Angle weight (kg/m) = thickness × (height + width − thickness) × density / 1000. One metre of 40 × 40 × 4 mm Mercury Angle weighs about 4.134 kg.
What is the density of Mercury?
The density of Mercury is taken as 13.6 g/cm³ (13,600 kg/m³).
