Hi there,
I assume that you are looking for the total weight
of these cylinders.
Formula:Volume = Pi x r^2 x h
Volume = Pi x 0.5^2 x 9
Volume = 7.069 ft^3
At 62.4 pounds per cubic foot
The weight of one cylinder =
62.4 x 7.069
= 441.11 pounds per cylinder
or 882.22 pounds for two cylinders.
Hope this helps :-)
