Steel pipe is a cylindrical, hollow, and double-ended pipe with a circular cross-section that is used to transport fluids. Its types include gas pipes , spiral , Mannsmann , scaffolding , lance, meaty , API , fire-resistant , industrial , stainless steel or stainless steel. The existence of differences and diversity in the production of these pipes shows that many industries are involved in the use of this steel product. Therefore, it must meet the needs of large industries such as automotive , agriculture , bridge construction , etc. in terms of quality and structure.

Each of these pipes can have a different weight depending on the thickness, size and length of the branch. This should be taken into account when purchasing and using it. Therefore, when purchasing a pipe, accurately calculating the weight of the pipe can have a great impact on purchasing and selecting the right pipe. First, you can use the calculator below to easily calculate the weight of the pipe.

Calculating pipe weight using a calculator

To calculate the weight of a pipe through a calculator, you must enter the required information such as the length of the pipe, the outer diameter of the pipe, and the thickness of the pipe in the specified fields, and finally the exact weight and the finished weight of the product will be displayed to you.

How the pipe is made is an important factor in determining its weight.
The method of producing pipes is in two ways: welded and seamless. In the first method, which is the welded method, the sheets are stretched around the desired mold and the seam is soldered. Pipes produced by the welded method are less strong than seamless pipes. And for this reason, the price of these pipes is also lower. In the seamless pipe production method, hot steel is poured into a mold and the desired pipe is produced. Pipes produced in this way are expensive and have high strength.

Calculating pipe weight using the formula

As mentioned, to obtain the weight of steel pipes, you can use weight tables or the Staal table. If you do not have access to either of them, you can measure the length and thickness of the pipes using a meter and calipers and calculate their weight using the following formula.

1000/[3.14 ⨯Iron density ⨯Pipe length (m) ⨯Pipe thickness (mm) ⨯ (Pipe thickness (mm) – Outer diameter (mm))] = Pipe weight

The above formula is a fixed formula, but a new formula can be derived by moving or converting some of its parameters, which is:

1000/ [3.14 ⨯Iron density ⨯Pipe length (m) ⨯Pipe thickness (mm) ⨯Pipe inner diameter (mm)]=Pipe weight

Due to the difficulty of measuring the pipe diameter and mathematical calculations, using the formula may not be very pleasant for buyers. In this case, the best way would be to use an online pipe weight calculator or use a pipe weight table. Keep in mind that the weight obtained from the methods mentioned above is a standard weight and it is necessary to compare it with the number obtained from the scale. The closeness of these two numbers to each other indicates the high quality of the steel pipe.
