Weight ConverterHow Pipe Weight is Calculated
The weight of a pipe is calculated using the formula:
Weight = π × ((OD/2)² - (ID/2)²) × Length × Density
All dimensions are converted to millimeters for the calculation. The cross-sectional area (π × OD²/4 - π × ID²/4) is multiplied by the length to get volume, then multiplied by density for weight in kilograms.

Example:
For a Mild Steel pipe with:
- Outer Diameter: 100 mm
- Inner Diameter: 80 mm
- Length: 1000 mm
Outer Area = π × (100/2)² = 7,853.98 mm²
Inner Area = π × (80/2)² = 5,026.55 mm²
Cross-section Area = 7,853.98 - 5,026.55 = 2,827.43 mm²
Volume = 2,827.43 × 1000 = 2,827,433 mm³ = 0.002827 m³
Weight = 0.002827 × 7,850 = 22.20 kg
