Weight Calculation

How is the weight of tin Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm tin Pipe weighs about 3.117 kg.

What is the density of tin?

The density of tin is taken as 7.3 g/cm³ (7,300 kg/m³).

tin Pipe weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 20.885
Ø33.7 × 2.51.789
Ø48.3 × 33.117
Ø60.3 × 33.942
Ø88.9 × 47.788
Ø114.3 × 410.12

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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