SS Tube Weight Calculator
SS Tube Weight Calculator is a practical tool for calculating the weight of stainless steel tubes (Stainless Steel Tube), which is widely used in the fields of construction, machinery manufacturing, petrochemicals and so on.
SS Tube Weight Formula
Stainless Steel Tube Weight Calculator is based on the relationship between volume and density, and the general formula is:
Weight = Cross-section Area x Length x Density Weight = Cross-section Area x Length x Density
For different cross-sectional shapes, the cross-sectional area is calculated as follows:
Round tube: π × (D-t) × t
Square tube: 4 × (W-t) × t· ·
Rectangular tube: 2×(H+W-2t)×t
where D is the outer diameter, W is the width, H is the height, t is the wall thickness, and density is usually taken as 7.93 g/cm³ (304 stainless steel).
