Stainless steel Hollow Section

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Stainless steel 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 Stainless steel Hollow Section weighs about 3.530 kg.

What is the density of Stainless steel?

The density of Stainless steel is taken as 7.95 g/cm³ (7,950 kg/m³).

Stainless steel Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 21.145
30 × 30 × 21.781
40 × 40 × 33.530
50 × 50 × 34.484
60 × 40 × 34.484
100 × 100 × 515.11

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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