Copper Hollow Section
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Copper 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 Copper Hollow Section weighs about 3.978 kg.
What is the density of Copper?
The density of Copper is taken as 8.96 g/cm³ (8,960 kg/m³).
