Iron Pipe
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Iron Pipe calculated?
Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Iron Pipe weighs about 3.356 kg.
What is the density of Iron?
The density of Iron is taken as 7.86 g/cm³ (7,860 kg/m³).
Iron Pipe weight table for standard sizes
| Size (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| Ø21.3 × 2 | 0.953 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 1.926 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 3.356 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 4.245 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 8.386 |
| Ø114.3 × 4 | 10.90 |
How accurate is the calculated weight?
Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
