Weight Calculation

How is the weight of tin 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 tin Hollow Section weighs about 3.241 kg.

What is the density of tin?

The density of tin is taken as 7.3 g/cm³ (7,300 kg/m³).

tin Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 21.051
30 × 30 × 21.635
40 × 40 × 33.241
50 × 50 × 34.117
60 × 40 × 34.117
100 × 100 × 513.87

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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