Weight Calculation

How is the weight of polyethylene Hexagon Bar calculated?

Hexagon bar weight (kg/m) = 0.866 × width across flats² × density / 1000. One metre of SW 22 mm polyethylene Hexagon Bar weighs about 0.398 kg.

What is the density of polyethylene?

The density of polyethylene is taken as 0.95 g/cm³ (950 kg/m³).
