Pipe Weight Calculator

Calculate the weight of a steel pipe from outer diameter and wall thickness.

Pipe Weight Calculator

Estimate the weight of a round pipe (hollow cylinder) using outer diameter, wall thickness, and length. Uses steel density of 7850 kg/m³.

Formula

Weight = π × (OD² - ID²) / 4 × Length × Density

Step-by-step

  1. ID = OD - 2 × Wall
  2. Area = π × (OD² - ID²) / 4
  3. Volume = Area × Length
  4. Weight = Volume × 7850 kg/m³

Example

A 2-inch pipe (60.3 mm OD, 3.91 mm wall), 6 m long weighs about 32.9 kg.

FAQ

What is ID?+

Inner diameter = outer diameter minus twice the wall thickness.
