Torus Weight

The Torus Weight (Mass) calculator computes the weight or mass of a torus (circular tube) with an inner radius of (a), an outer radius of (b) and a mean density (mD).   Torus - Circular Tube

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following: 

• (r) Inner Radius
• (R) Outer Radius
• (mD) Mean Density of Material (Default: 7,850 kg/m³ for steel)

Torus Mass / Weight (M):. The calculator returns the mass in grams.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

• Volume of a Torus based on the outer radius (R) and the radius of the tube (r)
• Mass or Weight of Torus
• Surface Area of a Torus

The Math / Science

This formula computes the volume of the geometric shape based on the input parameters.  With the computed volume, this formula then executes the simple equation below to compute the approximate mass of the object.

`mass = mu_(density) * volume`

Mean Density Table

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:

• kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
• grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
• grams per liter (g/L)
• pounds per cubic feet (lb/ft³)
• ounces per cubic inch (oz/in³)
• pounds per barrel (lb/bbl)
• pounds per bushel (lb/bu)

If you want to identify a material by its density, use the Density Within Range tool.

Weight is technically the downward force that a mass exerts based on the force of gravity and the mass of the object.  On the surface of the Earth, mass and weight are often interchanged.  In some places, objects are sold by the gram (mass), and in other locations, the same objects are sold by the ounce (weight).

The Weight Calculators use the dimensions of an object and its shape to compute the objects volume.  They then apply a density associated with a material to estimate the objects weight.
