Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Nichrome Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Nichrome Pipe weighs about 3.544 kg.

What is the density of Nichrome?

The density of Nichrome is taken as 8.3 g/cm³ (8,300 kg/m³).
