--------
Some details are missing.

Assuming it's 2 concentric cones, and that the ID of the end on the hose is 4 inches:
--> 2 frustums (frusta?) of cones.
For the outside cone:
R = large end radius, r = small end radius
R = 2.3125, r = 0.8125 inches
----
Vol of the frustum =
=
= =~ 99.1074 cu inches
------
Subtract the volume of the inside frustum:
Vol =
= 4pi*5.25 = 21pi =~ 65.973 cu inches
-----
33.134 cu inches
======================
1 cu ft = 1728 cu inches
Weight = (33.134/1728)*520
=~ 9.97 pounds
x1000 = 9970 pounds (with no scrap)
