Bronze 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).
Bronze Square Hollow Tube Weight Calculation:
The tube features a square cross-section with a hollow centre, which allows it to be strong yet relatively lightweight compared to solid counterparts. The external width, wall thickness, and length of the tube play critical roles in defining its overall volume, and hence its weight.
The formula for calculating the weight of a bronze square hollow tube takes into account the outer and inner sections of the tube by subtracting the inner hollow volume from the outer volume. This difference is then multiplied by the length of the tube and the density of bronze, which is typically around 8.9 grams per cubic centimetre.
The density of the material directly impacts how heavy the tube will be for a given set of dimensions. A thicker wall or larger external width increases the material volume, thereby increasing the tube’s weight. Conversely, reducing the wall thickness decreases the weight, as less bronze is used.
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 bronze 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 bronze material in grams per cubic centimetre, g/cm3.
Bronze Square Hollow Tube Weight Calculation:
- A bronze square hollow tube has an external width of 6 cm, a wall thickness of 0.8 cm, a length of 150 cm, and the density of bronze is 8.9 g/cm³. Calculate the weight of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 6cm, T(cm) = 0.8cm, L(cm) = 150cm, d(g/cm3) = 8.9g/cm3.
Weight, W(g) = [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = [62 – (6 – 0.8)2] * 150 * 8.9
W(g) = 8.96 * 150 * 8.9
W(g) = 11961.6g.
- A bronze square hollow tube has a width of 8 cm, a wall thickness of 1 cm, and the density of bronze is 8.9 g/cm³. The tube weighs 3560 g. Calculate the length of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 8cm, T(cm) = 1cm, W(g) = 3560g, d(g/cm3) = 8.9g/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) = 3650 / [64 – (49)] * 8.9
L(cm) = 3650 / 133.5
L(cm) = 26.67cm.
