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 × 20.211
Ø33.7 × 2.50.426
Ø48.3 × 30.743
Ø60.3 × 30.940
Ø88.9 × 41.856
Ø114.3 × 42.412

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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