Mercury Pipe

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Mercury Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Mercury Pipe weighs about 5.807 kg.

What is the density of Mercury?

The density of Mercury is taken as 13.6 g/cm³ (13,600 kg/m³).

Mercury Pipe weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 21.649
Ø33.7 × 2.53.333
Ø48.3 × 35.807
Ø60.3 × 37.345
Ø88.9 × 414.51

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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