Copper Pipe

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Copper Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Copper Pipe weighs about 3.825 kg.

What is the density of Copper?

The density of Copper is taken as 8.96 g/cm³ (8,960 kg/m³).

Copper Pipe weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 21.087
Ø33.7 × 2.52.196
Ø48.3 × 33.825
Ø60.3 × 34.839
Ø88.9 × 49.560

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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