Weight Calculation

How is the weight of Yellow Metal Pipe calculated?

Pipe weight (kg/m) = (outside diameter − wall thickness) × wall thickness × π × density / 1000. One metre of Ø48.3 × 3 mm Yellow Metal Pipe weighs about 3.650 kg.

What is the density of Yellow Metal?

The density of Yellow Metal is taken as 8.55 g/cm³ (8,550 kg/m³).
