Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Subtracts concentric spherical volumes and uses the supplied density on the same material basis. No wall thickness, pressure capacity or material strength is selected.
A worked example
Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.
- Outer diameter
- 2 m
- Inner diameter
- 1 m
- Supplied material density
- 1,000 kg/m³
Shell material mass: 3,665.2 kg
