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 × 2 | 0.437 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 0.882 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 1.537 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 1.944 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 3.841 |
| Ø114.3 × 4 | 4.990 |
How accurate is the calculated weight?
Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
