Calculate the Weight of Square Hollow Sections (SHS)

Our Square Hollow Section Weight Calculator provides a fast and accurate method for determining the weight of SHS tubes. This is an indispensable tool for engineers, architects, and fabricators who need to find precise weight information for structural calculations, transportation planning, and material cost estimation.

How to Calculate SHS Weight

The calculator determines the weight based on the volume of steel and its density. You will need to provide the following dimensions in millimeters (mm):

  • Side Length: The outer side length of the square tube.
  • Wall Thickness: The thickness of the section's wall.
  • Length: The total length of the tube.
  • Density: Defaults to 7850 kg/m³ for mild steel, but can be adjusted for other materials.
  • By calculating the volume of the outer section and subtracting the inner hollow volume, the tool finds the precise material volume. This is then multiplied by the density to give you a reliable weight in kilograms (kg), ensuring your project planning is built on solid data.
