Calculating the weight of a pipe is a critically important stage in construction and industry. Knowing the weight of 1 meter of steel pipe, you will be able to:
- Precisely determine the load on structures;
- Calculate the logistics of transporting metal products;
- Plan a budget without overpaying for excess material.
The modern pipe weight calculator takes into account the parameters from GOST 8639-82 for round pipes and GOST 8645-68 for profile pipes. Simply enter:
- Outer diameter (for round pipes) or section dimensions (for profile pipes);
- Wall thickness;
- Length of the segment.
Example of calculating the weight of 1 meter of a 40 mm round metal pipe (wall thickness 3 mm):
Weight = (40-3)*3*0.02466 ≈ 2.73 kg/m. For a 3-meter pipe — 8.19 kg.
