polyethylene Pipe
Weight Calculation
How is the weight of polyethylene Pipe calculated?
Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm polyethylene Pipe weighs about 0.406 kg.
What is the density of polyethylene?
The density of polyethylene is taken as 0.95 g/cm³ (950 kg/m³).
polyethylene Pipe weight table for standard sizes
| Size (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| Ø21.3 × 2 | 0.115 |
| Ø33.7 × 2.5 | 0.233 |
| Ø48.3 × 3 | 0.406 |
| Ø60.3 × 3 | 0.513 |
| Ø88.9 × 4 | 1.014 |
| Ø114.3 × 4 | 1.317 |
How accurate is the calculated weight?
Values are theoretical; production tolerances and corner radii can make the actual weight differ by 2–5%.
