Pipe Weight Calculation

Information

The Steel Pipe Weight Calculator provides a reliable method to determine the mass of steel pipes based on their configuration and dimensions. Refer to the official data for the theoretical weight per meter of pipe in various profiles as outlined below:

• – for square steel pipes;
• – for rectangular steel pipes;
• – for straight seam electric-welded steel pipes.

Below you will find the reference tables used to compute the mass of a steel pipe. These values are derived from the cross-sectional area combined with the overall dimensions for square and rectangular profiles, or from the nominal outer diameter and wall thickness for round pipes.

How to Use the Calculator?

This online tool allows you to instantly obtain calculated reference values without consulting external charts. Simply choose the desired calculation method, select the appropriate pipe type, input the required parameters (side length A – for square pipes; sides A and B – for rectangular pipes; outside diameter S – for round pipes; along with the total product length), and click "Calculate". Additionally, the meter-to-ton converter works in reverse – by entering the weight and overall dimensions, you can determine the pipe’s length.

Using the Pipe Weight Calculator on our website is incredibly convenient for estimating pipe mass. This preliminary computation assists in determining the number of pipes needed for your construction project, selecting the proper transportation method, and planning the installation process. Ultimately, this leads to a more precise cost estimation and helps avoid unnecessary expenses. Our calculator ensures that you swiftly and accurately compute the weight of 1 meter of pipe online.

The tool is user-friendly and versatile, enabling you to calculate the mass of a pipe by its diameter, length, and wall thickness, as well as to compute the weight of various metal pipes.

How to Determine the Weight of a Pipe with Non-Standard Dimensions?

The standard covers the production of conventional products whose measurements comply with regulated technical tolerances. However, if a customer requires non-standard specifications, manufacturers may deviate from these values. In such cases, it is recommended to compute the weight of the profile pipe using dedicated formulas based on the pipe type:

• Square profile: m = ro / 7850 * 0.0157 * S * (A * 2 - 2.86 * S) * L
• Rectangular profile: m = ro / 7850 * 0.0157 * S * (A + B - 2.86 * S) * L
• Round profile: m = Pi * ro * S * (D - S) * L

Explanation of the Variables in the Formulas:

• ro – density of the metal, kg/m³;
• A, B – side lengths of the pipe, mm;
• 7850 – density of carbon steel;
• 0.0157 – coefficient;
• S – wall thickness, mm;
• D – outside diameter, mm;
• Pi – the mathematical constant Pi;
• L – length of the product, m.

The weight calculation formulas are also applicable when pipes are fabricated from materials with different densities. The actual mass is determined by experimental weighing. Our pipe weight calculator takes these factors into account, delivering precise results even when working with non-standard dimensions or alternative materials. Compute the weight of 1 meter of pipe effortlessly using this advanced online tool.
