Calculate Pipe Weight, Filled Weight, and Load Weight

Choose a mode. Then enter OD, wall thickness, length, quantity, and material. After that, review the weight result and warning note.

Planning estimate only. Also, coating, pipe tolerance, end finish, fittings, and mill data can change final shipping weight.

Quick Answer

How Do You Calculate Line Pipe Weight?

Line pipe weight is calculated from outside diameter, wall thickness, length, and material density. For carbon steel pipe in inches, a common shortcut is 10.69 × (OD − Wall) × Wall to estimate weight per foot.

✦ Key Takeaways

Use OD and wall thickness, not only nominal pipe size.
For steel pipe, lb/ft is often estimated with the 10.69 shortcut.
Metric steel pipe weight is often shown in kg/m.
Filled pipe weight also needs the water or fluid weight inside the pipe.
Therefore, check actual pipe specs before ordering, lifting, or shipping.

Best formulaUse 10.69 × (OD − Wall) × Wall for steel lb/ft.

Best useUse it for pipe weight per foot, total length, and quantity checks.

Best warningCheck real pipe specs, coating, and mill data before final use.

How It Works

How to Use This Pipe Weight Calculator

First, choose the calculator mode. Next, enter the pipe size and material. Then compare empty, filled, and load weight.

Formula Guide

Line Pipe Weight Formula

The formulas below help explain the calculator. Also, they make the result easier to check by hand.

Steel Pipe Weight Per Foot Formula

For carbon steel pipe in inches, this shortcut is often used for quick lb/ft estimates.

Weight per foot = 10.69 × (OD − Wall Thickness) × Wall Thickness

Metric Steel Pipe Weight Formula

For metric steel pipe, OD and wall are usually entered in millimeters.

kg/m = Wall × (OD − Wall) × 0.02466

Filled Pipe Weight Formula

Filled pipe weight adds the empty pipe weight and the fluid weight inside the pipe.

Filled Weight = Empty Pipe Weight + Internal Fluid Weight
