Formula to Calculate Tube Weight

The weight of a tube can be calculated using the following formula:

Weight per meter (kg/m)=π×(Outer Radius2 − Inner Radius2)×Density of Material

Where:

  • Outer Radius = Outer Diameter​ / 2
  • Inner Radius = Outer Diameter – 2 × Wall Thickness​ / 2
  • Density of Material:

Steel: 7,850 kg/m 3, Stainless Steel: 7,930 kg/m 3, Copper: 8,960 kg/m 3

Example Calculation for a Steel Tube

Given:

Outer Diameter (O.D) = 60.3mm, Wall Thickness (s) = 2.3 mm, Material Density = 7,850kg/m 3

Steps:

  • Outer Radius (R outer​):

R outer  =  O.D / 2 = 60.3 / 2 = 30.15mm

  • Inner Radius (R inner): 

(R inner):  O.D.−2×s​ / 2 = 60.3−2×2.3 / 2 = 55.7 /2 = 27.85mm

 

  •  Cross-Sectional Area (AAA):

Convert radius to meters:

A=π× (R2outer ​− R2inner)

A=π×((0.03015)2−(0.02785)2)

A=π×(0.000909−0.000776)

A=π×0.000133=0.0004188m2

  • Weight per meter (WWW):

W=A×Density = 0.0004188×7,850 = 3.28kg/m

The weight of a steel tube with an outer diameter of 60.3 mm and wall thickness of 2.3 mm is approximately 3.28 kg/m.
