Estimate bare-metal mass from nominal geometry. Results are theoretical, not measured shipment weights.
Formula
A = π/4 × [OD² − (OD − 2t)²]. For a prismatic section, V = A × length. Mass = V × density.
Worked example
outer diameter: 100 mm; thickness: 10 mm; length: 100 mm. At 2700 kg/m³ and one piece, the calculated mass is 0.763407 kg.
Assumptions and limits
Enter actual outside diameter and wall, not nominal pipe size. The tool does not evaluate pressure rating.
Density defaults to a rounded 6061 reference. Change it for the actual material. Read the mass-estimation guide.
