Mercury Hollow Section

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Mercury 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 Mercury Hollow Section weighs about 6.038 kg.

What is the density of Mercury?

The density of Mercury is taken as 13.6 g/cm³ (13,600 kg/m³).

Mercury Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 21.958
30 × 30 × 23.046
40 × 40 × 36.038
50 × 50 × 37.670
60 × 40 × 37.670

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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