Mild Steel Hollow Section Weight Calculator
Here is a table of estimated weights for some common sizes of rectangular and square hollow sections (RHS/SHS) made of mild steel:
| Size (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Perimeter (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 x 25 | 2.0 | 150 | 2.36 |
| 50 x 50 | 2.0 | 200 | 3.15 |
| 75 x 50 | 2.5 | 250 | 4.91 |
| 100 x 50 | 3.0 | 300 | 7.07 |
| 100 x 100 | 3.0 | 400 | 9.42 |
| 150 x 100 | 4.0 | 500 | 15.70 |
| 200 x 100 | 5.0 | 600 | 23.56 |
| 250 x 150 | 5.0 | 800 | 31.41 |
| 300 x 200 | 6.0 | 1000 | 47.10 |
| 400 x 200 | 6.0 | 1200 | 56.52 |
This table provides a good estimate for the weight of mild steel hollow sections commonly used in construction and fabrication. Note that actual weights can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances and the specific properties of the steel used.
