SS Railing Steel Pipes Weight Chart List by PS Steel

What is a Steel Pipe Weight Chart?

Definition and Importance

At PS Steel, we believe that the success of any project depends on proper material selection and accurate calculations.
A Steel Pipe Weight Chart is a technical table that provides the exact weight of pipes for different diameters, thicknesses, and lengths.
It is extremely useful across industries such as:

• Construction

• Manufacturing

• Water supply

• Oil and gas

• Industrial plants

Applications in Construction and Manufacturing

Knowing the pipe’s weight is essential because it determines:

• The load a structure will bear

• The crane capacity required

• The transportation and handling costs

Our customers use this chart to select the right grade and size for:

• Steel structures

• Railings

• Industrial pipeline projects

Why Accurate Weight Calculation is Important

Accurate weight calculations help in:

• Increasing safety and efficiency

• Ensuring ease of installation

• Preventing material wastage

At PS Steel, every pipe is tested as per IS and ASTM standards to ensure both accurate weight and superior quality.

Steel Pipe Weight Chart Specifications

Pipe Dimensions and Standards

• Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): Indicates the pipe’s nominal outer diameter (OD).

• Outside Diameter (OD): Measured from the pipe’s outer surface.

• Wall Thickness: Determines pipe weight and pressure capacity.

• Standard Lengths: 6 meters (20 feet) and 12 meters (40 feet).

Schedule Classification

At PS Steel, we offer pipes in multiple schedule classes:

• Schedule: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 120, 160

• Standard Strength: STD (Standard), XS (Extra Strong), XXS (Double Extra Strong)

Each schedule defines the wall thickness and pressure tolerance.

Steel Pipe Weight Calculation Methods

Weight Calculation Formula

Basic Formula:
Weight = π × [(OD/2)² - (OD/2 - t)²] × Length × Density

Simplified Formula (lbs/ft):
Weight = (OD - t) × t × 10.69

Metric Formula (kg):
Weight = 0.02466 × t × (OD - t) × L
