Uranium Pipe

Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Uranium Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Uranium Pipe weighs about 8.133 kg.

What is the density of Uranium?

The density of Uranium is taken as 19.05 g/cm³ (19,050 kg/m³).

Uranium Pipe weight table for standard sizes

Size (mm)Weight (kg/m)
Ø21.3 × 22.310
Ø33.7 × 2.54.668
Ø48.3 × 38.133
Ø60.3 × 310.29
Ø88.9 × 420.33
Ø114.3 × 426.41

How accurate is the calculated weight?

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