The aim of the work was to apply a complex method for the prominence mass estimations that can be used later for other prominences observed during the observing campaign. Values of the total mass estimated for six prominences are between 2.9 x 10(11) and 1.7 x 10(12) kg. The column density of hydrogen is of the order of 10(18)-10(19) cm(-2). Our results agree with results of other authors. The method is now ready to be used for all 30 prominences observed during the campaign. Then in the near future it will be possible to obtain a statistics of the total mass of quiescent solar prominences.
