Formula for Theoretical Weight of Steel Pipe


Weight (kg) per piece of steel pipe
The theoretical weight of a steel pipe can be calculated using the formula:
Weight = (Outside Diameter – Wall Thickness) * Wall Thickness * 0.02466 * Length
Outside Diameter is the outer diameter of the pipe
Wall Thickness is the thickness of the pipe wall
Length is the length of the pipe
0.02466 is the density of steel in pounds per cubic inch

The actual weight of a steel pipe can be determined by weighing the pipe using a scale or other measuring device.

It’s important to note that the theoretical weight is an estimate based on the dimensions and density of the steel, while the actual weight is the physical weight of the pipe. The actual weight may vary slightly due to factors such as manufacturing tolerances, surface finish, and material composition.

For precise weight calculations, it’s recommended to use the actual weight of the steel pipe rather than relying solely on the theoretical weight.
