Pipe Weight Calculator
Calculate the weight of steel pipes quickly and accurately. Understand how pipe dimensions, wall thickness, and material density affect total weight.
Step 1: Pipe Dimensions
Understanding Pipe Dimensions
Outer Diameter (OD) is the total outside measurement. Wall thickness determines the pipe’s strength and weight. Standard pipe lengths are typically 6 meters (20 feet).
Step 2: Material Details
About Material Density
Material density is the mass per unit volume. Carbon steel (7.85 g/cm³) is most common for structural pipes. Aluminum is lighter while copper is heavier. Density directly affects pipe weight.

Material Weight Analysis
Pipe Weight Formula
Weight = π × (OD² – ID²) / 4 × Length × Density
The pipe weight is calculated using the hollow cylinder volume formula. ID (Inner Diameter) = OD – (2 × Wall Thickness). All units must be consistent for accurate calculation.
