Pipe Weight Calculation
The dimensions required for pipe weight calculation include the pipe's outer diameter, length, and wall thickness. Additionally, knowing the material’s specific density is essential. These measurements are generally calculated in millimeters (mm). Pipe weight calculations are used to create pipe weight tables.

The weight of pipes is calculated based on their cross-section and density. However, instead of using a lengthy calculation method, you can determine the weight per meter of a pipe using the simplified formula below:
Formula for Pipe Weight Calculation:
- A: Weight per meter of the pipe
- D: Outer diameter (mm)
- e: Wall thickness (mm)
- A = (D - e) × e × 0.02464
It is important to note that this formula provides the theoretical weight. As known, international standards for hot-rolled pipes allow for wall thickness tolerances ranging between (+/-) 9% and 17.5%. Within these tolerance limits, variations in wall thickness will directly affect the actual weight of the pipe.
What is the Pipe Weight Calculation Formula?
- D: Outer diameter (mm)
- t: Wall thickness (mm)
- l: Length (m)
- d: Density (g/cm³)
- Formula: (D - t) × t × l × d × π
For steel pipes, the weight calculation formula is:
- Steel density: 7.85 g/cm³
- π (Pi): 3.14
- Pipe weight per meter = (D - t) × t × 0.02464
What is Hascelik.com’s Pipe Weight Calculator Used For?
Before placing an order, you can easily calculate the weight of the material you plan to purchase by entering the dimensions into our pipe weight calculator. You can calculate the pipe weight (kg) for seamless steel drawn pipes in qualities such as St 37 (E235), St 42 (E275), St 52 (E355), and other types of pipes. Knowing the steel pipe weight and pipe profile weight provides significant advantages during shipment and transportation, helping to determine how much load a vehicle can carry.
Applications of Hasçelik Pipe Products
Oil & Gas Line Pipes
Used in the energy sector, fuel stations, oil refineries, indoor natural gas installations, natural gas cycle plants, and many other pipelines. Seamless steel line pipes are typically produced in compliance with ASME, API, and ASTM standards or API 5B (Grade A, Grade B) standards. These pipes can be used above ground or underground, with or without protective coatings, offering long lifespan and high reliability.
Heat Exchanger Pipes
Seamless hot-drawn pipes used for heat transfer between two different fluids without mixing. They are widely used in power plants and the petrochemical industry and are manufactured in compliance with A210, A192, and A179 quality standards.
Boiler Pipes
Used in biomass combustion systems, pressure vessels, and industrial ovens. To maximize heat transfer, thin wall thickness is preferred. Since boiler pipes operate in high-risk environments, material selection is critical to ensure reliability. These pipes are typically made of alloyed or non-alloyed steel and are produced according to the European EN 10216-2 standard.
Casing Pipes
Used in drilling wells for the extraction of groundwater, steam, hot water, natural gas, oil, and solid materials (such as salt). Casing pipes are produced from steel materials compliant with API standards. Wall thickness, pipe diameters, steel grade, and thread type vary based on casing design and well depth.
According to API quality standards, casing pipe diameters range from 4 ½” (114.3 mm) to 20” (508 mm), and the following thread types are used:
- STC (Short Thread Casing)
- LTC (Long Thread Casing)
- BTC (Buttress Thread Casing)
Mechanical Pipes
Used in various industries, including general machinery manufacturing, the automotive industry, defense industry, hydraulic systems, railway manufacturing, and agricultural machinery production. Standard grades include St-52, DIN 1629, and for special applications, 24Mn4 steel is used.
