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 × 20.717
Ø33.7 × 2.51.448
Ø48.3 × 32.523
Ø60.3 × 33.192
Ø88.9 × 46.305
Ø114.3 × 48.192

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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