Work in geometrized units $G=c=1$, with the stationary Killing vector field $K={\partial }_t$ normalized by $K^2\to -1$ at infinity. Put $q=2m{\sinh }^2\alpha$, $f=F/\sqrt{H}$, and $R^2=r^2\sqrt{H}$; $R$ is the areal radius. The static spherical Komar mass in reciprocal radial gauge givesIndeed the future and outward unit normals to a round sphere are $n=f^{-1/2}{\partial }_t$ and $s=f^{1/2}{\partial }_r$, and $s^a{n}^b{\nabla }_a{K}_b=-f^{\prime }/2$. The Komar mass integral $-(4\pi {)}^{-1}\int s^a{n}^b{\nabla }_a{K}_{b}dA$ is therefore $R^2{f}^{\prime }/2$. Since $F^{\prime }=2m/r^2$ and $H^{\prime }=-q/r^2$,Taking the asymptotic limit yieldsThis agrees with $g_{tt}=-1+(2m+q/2)/r+O(r^{-2})$. The finite-radius Komar integral need not equal its asymptotic value, because this solution is not vacuum. Restoring $G$ divides the mass expression by $G$ when $m$ has dimensions of length.
