Stainless Steel Pipe – Sizes, Dimensions & Weight Chart | PS Steel India

Weight Calculation Methods

According to SS 304 Pipe standards, every pipe size has a fixed weight (Weight per Meter).

The basic formula for calculating weight is:

Weight (kg/m) = Sectional Area × Density of SS (7.85 g/cm³)

This calculation makes it easy for engineers and contractors to know how much material will be required and what will be its cost.

Stainless Steel Pipe Weight Chart Table

Weight chart is a type of “table” in which the exact weight of every pipe size and schedule (thickness) is given.
This makes planning and execution easy.

For example, a 1-inch SS Pipe (SCH 40) can weigh 1.68 kg/m while a 2-inch SS Pipe (SCH 40) can weigh up to 3.91 kg/m.

Composition and Equivalent Grades

The composition of SS 304 Pipe is 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This makes it corrosion-resistant and durable.

Internationally its equivalents are – AISI 304, UNS S30400, JIS SUS304.

That is, whether you buy in India or Europe/USA, its identity is universal.

Applications and Uses in Industry

Its use in industries is very wide:

• Construction projects – Plumbing lines, HVAC, structural piping

• Automotive industry – Exhaust systems, fabrication works

• Cement and chemical plants – Fluid transport, chemical pipelines

• Shipbuilding and marine projects – Resistant to salty water, durable in marine applications

In short, SS 304 Pipe is a material which plays an important role in every field.

Manufacturing Standards

It is mandatory to follow some standards for quality control:

• ASTM A312 – American Standard for Stainless Steel Pipes

• ASME B36.19 / B36.10 – Pipe Schedules & Dimensions

• EN Standards (Europe)

These standards ensure that the product maintains international quality.

Features and Benefits

• Rust proof – Lasts for a long time

• Heat resistant – Strength remains even at high temperatures

• Low maintenance – No need for frequent repairs

• Eco-friendly – Being recyclable, it is environment friendly

Pricing & Suppliers

The rate of SS 304 Pipe depends on the market – according to size, schedule, length, and raw material cost.

Only certified suppliers like PS Steel can provide the right price and genuine product.

How to Choose the Right Pipe?

Make the selection after understanding the demand of the project. Note:

• Load capacity / pressure rating

• Size and schedule

• Grade and standard

Therefore, purchase the pipe only after taking expert advice.
