Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Nichrome 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 Nichrome Hollow Section weighs about 3.685 kg.

What is the density of Nichrome?

The density of Nichrome is taken as 8.3 g/cm³ (8,300 kg/m³).
