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.
