Density of a Cylinder Calculator

Your details

Choose metric or imperial units. All inputs change to match.
A hollow cylinder has a cylindrical cavity running through its center.
Total mass of the cylinder measured on a scale.
g
Radius measured from the center to the outer edge of the cylinder.
cm
Total height (or length) of the cylinder along its axis.

Mass per unit volume of the cylinder

Density (kg/m³)636.62kg/m³
Volume785.3982cm³
Lateral surface area314.159cm²
Total surface area471.239cm²

Density: 0.6366 g/cm³

  • Your cylinder has a density of 0.6366 g/cm³ (636.6 kg/m³).
  • This density is less than water (1.0 g/cm³), so the cylinder would float.
  • The cylinder's volume is 785.40 cm³.
  • Measured density can differ from published material values if the sample contains voids, coatings, or alloy variations.

Next stepCompare this result against the reference table below to identify likely materials. For precise material identification, consider XRF or chemical analysis.
