Step-by-step instructions
- 1Select the pipe material.
- 2Enter the outer diameter and wall thickness (mm).
- 3Enter the length (mm).
- 4The calculator will estimate the weight.
Cylindrical Shell Volume
Calculates the volume of the pipe wall and multiplies by material density.
Weight = π(R² - r²) × L × DensityVariables:

Steel Pipe
Inputs:
Material:Steel
OD:60 mm
Wall:3 mm
Length:1000 mm
Steps:
- 1.R = 30, r = 27
- 2.Area = π(30² - 27²) = 537 mm²
- 3.Vol = 537 × 1000 = 537,000 mm³
- 4.Weight = 537,000 × 0.00785 = 4215 g
Result:
4.215 kg
