Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Aluminium foil Hollow Section calculated?

Hollow section weight is the outer cross-section minus the hollow core: (height × width − (height − 2 × wall) × (width − 2 × wall)) × length × density. One metre of 40 × 40 × 3 mm Aluminium foil Hollow Section weighs about 1.212 kg.

What is the density of Aluminium foil?

The density of Aluminium foil is taken as 2.73 g/cm³ (2,730 kg/m³).

Aluminium foil Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 20.393
30 × 30 × 20.612
40 × 40 × 31.212
50 × 50 × 31.540
