About this calculator

Overview

This tool calculates the theoretical weight of round tubing and pipe. It is useful for structural engineering, logistics, and material cost estimation.

💡

Pro Tips

Inner Diameter (ID) = Outer Diameter (OD) - (2 × Wall Thickness).
Ensure you use consistent units for diameter and wall thickness (e.g., inches).
For large quantities, even small per-foot weight differences can add up to significantly different shipping costs.

Fun Facts

"Steel pipe weight is often roughly estimated as: Weight (lb/ft) = 10.69 × (OD - Wall) × Wall."
"Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 refer to standardized wall thicknesses, not specific dimensions."
"The density of steel is approximately 490 lbs per cubic foot."

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