Concrete Hollow Section

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Concrete 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 Concrete Hollow Section weighs about 1.066 kg.

What is the density of Concrete?

The density of Concrete is taken as 2.4 g/cm³ (2,400 kg/m³).

Concrete Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 20.346
30 × 30 × 20.538
40 × 40 × 31.066
50 × 50 × 31.354
60 × 40 × 31.354
100 × 100 × 54.560

How accurate is the calculated weight?

Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
