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).
