Steel pipe is different in types. For example, there are black steel pipe, stainless steel pipe, welded steel pipe and so forth. As one of the most common materials used in construction areas, steel pipe is various in weight. The weight of steel pipe will differ greatly depending on its size and thickness. To calculate the weight of steel pipe, a mathematical formula will be needed.

Step 1
Have a clear conception on the necessary information, like the outside diameter of the pipe, the wall thickness of the pipe, the length of the pipe and so forth. Well, the outside diameter is the distance of the straight line that runs through the center of the pipe and connects 2 points on the surface of the steel pipe. When it comes to measuring the length of the pipe, remember to take the measurement in feet.

Step 2
Subtract the wall thickness of the black steel pipe from the outside diameter of the steel pipe. For example, the wall thickness of the steel pipe should be 4 if you had a pipe with a diameter of 6 and a wall thickness of 2 inches. To measure it exactly will do good to you actually.

Step 3
Then, multiply the result of step 2 by the wall thickness. For example, if the wall thickness is 2 inches, and the margin between wall thickness and outside diameter is 4 inches, then the result will be 2 multiply 4. Or we can get the result 8 actually.

Step 4
Multiply the result of step 3 by the coefficient 10.68.

Step 5
Multiply the result of step 4 by the pipe length. Well, you can get the weight of your steel pipe actually.
