How to calculate the weight of a conical container? Please help, experts
Thread Content
Cone-shaped container, made of 316L material, with a diameter of 2.4 meters, a total height of 5.5 meters, and a wall thickness of 14 mm. Please help calculate the weight, waiting online, thanks
The conditions are not complete; what are the large-end diameter and the small-end diameter? However, its weight should be easy to calculate...
This is a geometric problem; the poster still needs to provide the height of the cylinder
The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is the area of the base circle multiplied by the height, divided by 3. It is a fully conical container; the inner diameter is 2.4 meters and the outer diameter is 2.428 meters. The difference in volume calculated using these two diameters gives a volume of 0.195 cubic meters for the conical part made of metal. The specific gravity of stainless steel is similar to that of iron, around 7.8 to 7.9. The product is 1.52 tons. I don’t know if there is a bottom plate (top plate); if there is, the volume of the cylinder can always be calculated.

Just use CAD to create a 3D model, and it’ll be done.
