When working with steel pipes—whether for construction, engineering, or manufacturing—knowing their weight is crucial for transportation, structural planning, and cost estimation. But how exactly is the weight of a steel pipe calculated? The answer lies in a simple yet practical formula that considers the pipe's dimensions and material density.

The weight of any tube can be calculated with the following formulas. Simply multiply the appropriate alloy density by the calculation shown below of the required part.

Imperial	Example
density (lbs/in³)	0.284 lbs/in³
x
(OD² - (OD - 2xT)²)	(3.0 in² - (3.0 in - 2x0.022 in)²)
x
Length	12in
x
π/4
=
weight	0.702 lbs

Metric	Example

density (g/cm³)	7.85g/cm³
x
(OD² - (OD - 2xT)²)	(50.0 mm² - (50.0 mm - 2x1.0 mm)²)
x
Length	1m
x
π/4000
=
weight	1.209 kg
