Weight of Tube Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the weight of a tube.
W = pi*(r2-r1)^2*h*d
- Where W is the weight of the tube
- r2 is the outside radius
- r1 is the inside radius
- h is the length
- d is the density (.285 lb/in^3 for steel)
Weight of Tube Definition
A weight of a tube is typically used to describe the total weight of a steel pipe.
Weight of Tube Example
