Materials · Hollow-stock mass

Estimate pipe weight from measured walls.

Use actual outside diameter and wall thickness to calculate hollow cross-section, weight per foot, piece weight, and batch cost.

Transparent calculation

Metal area = π ÷ 4 × (outside diameter² − inside diameter²).

Inside diameter is outside diameter minus twice the measured wall. Metal area then multiplies by length, quantity, and entered density.
