Gallium Hollow Section

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Gallium 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 Gallium Hollow Section weighs about 2.624 kg.

What is the density of Gallium?

The density of Gallium is taken as 5.91 g/cm³ (5,910 kg/m³).

Gallium Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 20.851
30 × 30 × 21.324
40 × 40 × 32.624
50 × 50 × 33.333
60 × 40 × 33.333
