The Mass or Weight of a Hollow Cylinder calculator computes the mass of a hollow cylinder based on the dimensions and the density. This is for an open ended cylinder with no top or bottom.Open Ended (no top or bottom)
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Hollow Cylinder Mass(M): The calculator returns the mass of the hollow cylinder in grams (g). However this can be automatically converted to other mass and weight units via the pull-down menu. The calculator also returns:
Common Material Densities (mD) | ||
Material | Density | |
Steel | 7.85 g/cm3 | |
Copper | 8.92 g/cm3 | |
PVC | 1.38 g/cm3 | |
Aluminum | 2.7 g/cm3 |
The formula for the mass of a hollow cylinder is:
`M = pi * h * ( r^2 - (r-t)^2) * mD`
where:
The Mass of a Hollow Cylinder calculator computes the volume of the outer cylinder and subtracts the volume of the inner core. It then uses the formula for mass from volume and density:
where:
The mean density(mD) of many common substances, elements, liquids and materials can be found by clicking HERE (e.g. the mD of water is 1,000 kg/m3).

Mean density is scientifically volume divided by mass. There are various unit for density adopted by cultures and industries. Common units for density included the following:
If you want to identify a material by its density, use the Density Within Range tool.
