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

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 22.741
Ø33.7 × 2.55.538
Ø48.3 × 39.649
Ø60.3 × 312.21
Ø88.9 × 424.11
Ø114.3 × 431.33

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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