Iridium Pipe
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Iridium Pipe calculated?
Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Iridium Pipe weighs about 9.649 kg.
What is the density of Iridium?
The density of Iridium is taken as 22.6 g/cm³ (22,600 kg/m³).
Iridium Pipe weight table for standard sizes
