Gallium Pipe
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Gallium Pipe calculated?
Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Gallium Pipe weighs about 2.523 kg.
What is the density of Gallium?
The density of Gallium is taken as 5.91 g/cm³ (5,910 kg/m³).
Gallium Pipe weight table for standard sizes
| Size (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| Ø21.3 × 2 | 0.717 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 1.448 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 2.523 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 3.192 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 6.305 |
| Ø114.3 × 4 | 8.192 |
How accurate is the calculated weight?
Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
