Information
The steel pipe weight calculator is one of the calculation methods used to determine the mass of the product. Reference data for the theoretical mass of 1 meter of pipe of different profiles is contained in the relevant documents:
- – for square steel pipes;
- – for rectangular steel pipes;
- – for straight seam electric-welded steel pipes.
Below are the tables used to determine the mass of a steel pipe, depending on the cross-sectional area and overall dimensions (square and rectangular profiles) or on the nominal outside diameter and wall thickness (for round pipes).
How to use the calculator?
The pipe calculator allows you to obtain reference values without using tables. The user needs to select the calculation method, specify the type of pipe, enter the initial values (side length A – if it is a square pipe or sides A and B – if rectangular, outside diameter S – for round pipes, total length of the product) and press "Calculate". The pipe calculator from meters to tons also works in reverse – knowing the weight of the product and the overall parameters, you can calculate the length of the pipe.
Using the Pipe Calculator available on our website, it is very convenient to calculate the mass of pipes. This preliminary calculation allows you to determine the number of pipes needed for your needs, choose the transportation method, and type of installation. This, in turn, allows you to create a more accurate cost estimate and avoid unnecessary expenses. Our pipe weight calculator will help you quickly calculate the weight of the pipe online.
The calculator is very convenient and easy to use. You can calculate the weight of the pipe by diameter, length, and wall thickness, as well as calculate the weight of a metal pipe.
How to determine the weight of a pipe if its dimensions are non-standard?
The standard provides for the production of typical products, the dimensions of which are regulated by technical conditions within acceptable deviations. However, at the request of the consumer (customer), the manufacturer has the right to deviate from the provided values. In such a case, it is recommended to calculate the weight of the profile pipe using specific formulas depending on the type of profile:
- 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
The formulas use the following variables:
- ro – density of the metal, kg/m3;
- A, B – side lengths of the pipe, mm;
- 7850 – density of carbon steel;
- 0157 – coefficient;
- S – wall thickness, mm;
- D – outside diameter, mm;
- Pi – the number Pi;
- L – length of the product, m.
The calculation formulas for weight are also useful if the pipe is made of a material with a different density. The actual mass of the pipe is determined experimentally, by weighing. The pipe weight calculator allows you to take all these parameters into account and obtain an accurate result, even if the dimensions or materials are non-standard. The weight of 1 meter of pipe can be easily determined using our pipe calculator.
