Pipe Visualization

Weight (kg) = π × (OD² - ID²) / 4 × Length × Density

Calculation Steps

Step 1: Calculate Inner Diameter

Inner Diameter = Outer Diameter - (2 × Wall Thickness)

Step 2: Calculate Cross-sectional Area

Area = π × (OD² - ID²) / 4

Step 3: Determine Material Density

Mild Steel (MS) density: 7850 kg/m³

Step 4: Calculate Weight per Meter

Weight per meter = Area × Density

Step 5: Calculate Total Weight

Total Weight = Weight per meter × Length
