Barium Pipe

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Barium Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Barium Pipe weighs about 1.537 kg.

What is the density of Barium?

The density of Barium is taken as 3.6 g/cm³ (3,600 kg/m³).

Barium Pipe weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 20.437
Ø33.7 × 2.50.882
Ø48.3 × 31.537
Ø60.3 × 31.944
Ø88.9 × 43.841
Ø114.3 × 44.990

How accurate is the calculated weight?

Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
