Calculate Rectangular Hollow Tube Weight









Formula

To calculate the Rectangular Hollow Tube Weight:

\[ W = (H \times W - (W - t) \times (H - t)) \times L \times D \]

What is the weight of a Rectangular Hollow Tube?

The weight of a hollowed-out tube is equal to the total weight of the rectangular tube minus the weight of the inside hollow portion of the tube (if it is solid).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ W = (10 \times 5 - (5 - 0.5) \times (10 - 0.5)) \times 20 \times 490 \]

\[ W = (50 - 4.5 \times 9.5) \times 20 \times 490 \]

\[ W = (50 - 42.75) \times 20 \times 490 \]

\[ W = 7.25 \times 20 \times 490 = 71050 \text{ lbs} \]

The Rectangular Hollow Tube Weight is approximately 71,050 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ W = (8 \times 4 - (4 - 0.25) \times (8 - 0.25)) \times 15 \times 500 \]

\[ W = (32 - 3.75 \times 7.75) \times 15 \times 500 \]

\[ W = (32 - 29.0625) \times 15 \times 500 \]

\[ W = 2.9375 \times 15 \times 500 = 22031.25 \text{ lbs} \]

The Rectangular Hollow Tube Weight is approximately 22,031.25 lbs.
