Metal Pipe Weight Calculator
This is a simple tool to calculate the weight of metal pipes based on their dimensions and material density.
Pipe Weight
Kilograms
0.00 kg
Pounds
0.00 lbs
Calculation Formula
Pipe Weight = π × (D - t) × t × L × ρ
Where: D = Outer Diameter, t = Wall Thickness, L = Length, ρ = Density
How to Enter Inches Unit?
To enter the value in inches, enter the whole number in the first box. For the fractional part, use the second and third boxes for the numerator and denominator.
Input Format (inch): [Whole Number] + [Numerator] / [Denominator]
This is also called a mixed number, where a whole number is added to a fraction.
Example:
To input 3 ½ inches, you would enter `3` in the first box, `1` in the second, and `2` in the third.
Result: 3 + 1/2 = 3.5
Improper Fraction:
You can convert the mixed number into a single (improper) fraction using this formula:
(Denominator × Whole Number + Numerator) / Denominator
Example: 4 + 3/5 = (5×4 + 3)/5 = 23/5 = 4.6
Where do we use it?
This format is common in:
- Length measurement, for example - 2 + 1/4 inches
- Cooking recipes, 1 + 1/2 cups
Note: For other units (mm, cm), the fraction boxes are hidden. Simply enter the decimal value in the main input field.
