It is an accepted fire service understanding that 5" Large Diameter Hose (LDH) will hold 1 gallon/ft. On average a 100' section of 5" empty weighs 110 lbs. With water weighing 8.33 lbs/gal. a 100' section of LDH filled with water will weigh approximately 944 lbs.
The answer will depend on what it is filled with - air or lead, for example.
There need not be any water at all in the hose! The capacity of the hose is 1.67 cubic feet.

1 cubic inch of lead has a weight of approx 13.11 pounds weight.
Weight of 50ft section of 3 inch hose with water in it?
109 lbs with no water
That section of hose holds 25.5 gallons of water when it's full, which weighs about 213 pounds. To that, add the weight of the empty hose, which I don't know.

Assuming the hose has an inner diameter of 1 inch, 100 feet of 3" hose filled with water would weigh approximately 6,242 pounds.
The formula for volume of a pipe (or hose) is V =(PI/4) * D2 * L Assuming that each section of hose is the same length, we can find the volume for each diameter hose. V2-inch = (PI/4)*(2 in)2*L = PI*L V1-inch = (PI/4)*(1in)2*L = 0.25PI*L So the ratio of volumes of 2 inch to 1 inch hose is : V2-inch / V1-inch = PI*L / 0.25PI*L = 4:1

The weight of rubber hose varies depending on the density of the rubber material. On average, a 4-inch rubber hose weighs about 0.15-0.2 pounds per foot. So, 100 feet of 4-inch rubber hose would weigh approximately 15-20 pounds.
All else being equal, a 2-inch hose carries 4 times the volume as a 1-inch hose.
If "6 inch" is the inside diameter of the hose, thenVolume = (pi) (radius)2 (length) = (pi) (3)2 (1,200) = 33,929.2 cubic inches = 146.88 gallons (rounded)
A water hose is a cylinder, and since the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*height, we can calculate the volume of the water hose by finding the radius and height. A 3 inch hose has a radius of 1.5 inches, and 50 ft is equal to 600 inches, so 1.5^2 is 2.25, and 2.25*600 is 1,350. Finally we multiply by Pi to get approximately 4,239 cubic inches. Since 1 cubic inch is equal to 0.00432 gallons, there are 18.3506 gallons.
