Zinc Hollow Section

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Zinc 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 Zinc Hollow Section weighs about 3.152 kg.

What is the density of Zinc?

The density of Zinc is taken as 7.1 g/cm³ (7,100 kg/m³).

Zinc Hollow Section weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
20 × 20 × 21.022
30 × 30 × 21.590
40 × 40 × 33.152
50 × 50 × 34.004
60 × 40 × 34.004
100 × 100 × 513.49

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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