Brass Square Hollow Tube Weight Calculator:
Enter the values of width, W(cm), thickness of the tube, T(cm) and Length, L(cm) to determine the value of Weight, W(g).
Brass Square Hollow Tube Weight Formula:
Brass, an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, is known for its high density, strength, and resistance to corrosion, making it a suitable material for structural applications.
The hollow square design optimizes the balance between strength and weight, offering significant structural integrity while minimizing the amount of material used. The weight of the brass square hollow tube depends on its external width, wall thickness, length, and the density of the brass.
The tube’s weight is calculated by considering the outer and inner dimensions, subtracting the inner hollow section from the outer volume to account only for the solid brass material. This approach highlights the tube’s efficiency in material usage; the hollow nature reduces the overall mass without compromising its load-bearing capabilities.
The thickness of the walls plays a crucial role in determining the tube’s strength and its ability to resist deformation under load, as thicker walls mean more material, thus increasing weight.
Weight, W(g) in grams equals the difference between the square of width, W(cm) in centimetres and the square of the difference between width, W(cm) and thickness of the tube, T(cm) in centimetres all multiplied by Length, L(cm) in centimetres and density of the brass material, d(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetre.
Weight, W(g) = [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = weight in grams, g.
W(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.
T(cm) = thickness of the tube in centimetres, cm.
L(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.
d(g/cm3) = density of the brass material in grams per cubic centimetre, g/cm3.
Brass Square Hollow Tube Weight Calculation:
- A brass square hollow tube has a width of 6 cm, thickness of 0.8 cm, length of 150 cm, and the density of brass is 8.5 g/cm3. Calculate the weight of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 6cm, T(cm) = 0.8cm, L(cm) = 150cm, d(g/cm3) = 8.5g/cm3.
Weight, W(g) = [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = [62 – (6 – 0.8)2] * 150 * 8.5
W(g) = 8.96 * 150 *8.5
W(g) = 11424g.
- A brass square hollow tube has a side length of 10 cm, wall thickness of 1 cm, and material density of 8.5 g/cm³. If the tube weighs 5100 g, calculate the length of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 10cm, T(cm) = 1cm, W(g) = 5100g, d(g/cm3) = 8.5g/cm3.
Weight, W(g) = [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
L(cm) = W(g) / [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * d(g/cm3)
L(cm) = 5100 / [100 – (81)] * 8.5
L(cm) = 5100 / 161.5
L(cm) = 31.57cm.
