Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Platinum Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Platinum Pipe weighs about 9.158 kg.

What is the density of Platinum?

The density of Platinum is taken as 21.45 g/cm³ (21,450 kg/m³).
