Magnesium Pipe
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of Magnesium Pipe calculated?
Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Magnesium Pipe weighs about 0.743 kg.
What is the density of Magnesium?
The density of Magnesium is taken as 1.74 g/cm³ (1,740 kg/m³).
Magnesium Pipe weight table for standard sizes
| Size (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| Ø21.3 × 2 | 0.211 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 0.426 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 0.743 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 0.940 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 1.856 |
| Ø114.3 × 4 | 2.412 |
How accurate is the calculated weight?
Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
