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 × 2 | 1.087 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 2.196 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 3.825 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 4.839 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 9.560 |

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