Carbon Steel 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).
Carbon Steel Square Hollow Tube Weight Formula:
Carbon steel, known for its high tensile strength and durability, is used in various structural applications. The square hollow tube’s design includes an outer square cross-section with a hollow interior, which provides strength while reducing material usage compared to solid structures.
The tube’s weight is influenced by its outer width, wall thickness, and length. The formula used subtracts the volume of the inner square from the volume of the outer square to obtain the volume of the material.
This volume is then multiplied by the material’s density to find the total weight. This approach ensures that we accurately account for the material used in the tube, reflecting its physical properties and geometric design in the weight calculation.
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 carbon steel 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 carbon steel material in grams per cubic centimetre, g/cm3.
Carbon Steel Square Hollow Tube Weight Calculation:
1. An external width of 8 cm, thickness of 1 cm, length of 150 cm, and a density of 7.85 g/cm3 are given. Calculate the weight of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 8cm, T(cm) = 1cm, L(cm) = 150cm, d(g/cm3) = 7.85g/cm3.
Weight, W(g) = [ W2(cm) – (W(cm) – T(cm))2 ] * L(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = [82 – (8 – 1)2] * 150 * 7.85
W(g) = 15 * 150 * 7.85
W(g) = 17662.5g.
2. A carbon steel square hollow tube with an external width 12 cm, thickness 2 cm, and density 7.85 g/cm3weighs 30000 g. Calculate the length of the tube.
Given: W(cm) = 12cm, T(cm) = 2cm, W(g) = 30000g, d(g/cm3) = 7.85g/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) = 30000 / [144 – (100)] * 7.85
L(cm) = 30000 / 44 * 7.85
L(cm) = 87.15cm.
