Manual Calculation

Let us consider,

hollow mild steel Rectangular section (tube or pipe) of dimension 50mm × 25mm.× 3mm.

 

Therefore,

Side Length (A1, A2) = 50mm – 0.050m

Thickness (T) = 3mm – 0.003m

Lets us consider, Length (L) =1m.

 

Hollow Steel Rectangular tube.

Total area = surface area A1 + surface area A2

 

Side Length (A1) = (Side A1 × Thickness (t) × 2nos) = (50mm × 3mm × 2nos)

 

Side Length (A1) = (0.050 × 0.003 × 2nos)

Side Length (A1) = 0.0003 sqm

 

Side Length (A2) = (Side A1 – (2xThickness (t)) x (thickness) × 2nos) = ((25mm – (2x3)) x 3mm × 2nos) = (19mm x 3mm × 2nos)

Side Length (A2) = (0.019mm x 0.003mm × 2nos)

Side Length (A2) = 0.019 x 0.003 × 2

Side Length (A2) = 0.000114 sqm

 

Now, total sectional area

 

Total area = Surface area A1 + Surface area A2

Total area = 0.0003 + 0.000114

Total area = 0.000414 sqm

 

Therefore,

Volume V = (Area × length) = 0.000414 x 1 = 0.000414 Cum

 

So,

Weight of the hollow Rectangular MS tube = (Volume × density)

Weight of the hollow Rectangular MS tube = 0.000414 cum x 7850 kg/cum

Weight of the hollow Rectangular MS tube = 3.2499kg
