Calculating Weight of Schedule 40 Carbon Tube per 6 Meter Length

When it comes to working with Steel Pipes, one of the key considerations is understanding the weight of the material. This is especially important when it comes to Schedule 40 carbon tubes, as the weight can vary depending on the length of the pipe. In this article, we will discuss how to calculate the weight of a Schedule 40 carbon tube per 6-meter length, specifically focusing on MS square and rectangular steel pipes.

To begin, it is important to understand what Schedule 40 means in the context of steel pipes. Schedule 40 refers to the thickness of the pipe wall, with a higher number indicating a thicker wall. This is important to consider when calculating the weight of the pipe, as a thicker wall will result in a heavier pipe.

When it comes to MS square and rectangular steel pipes, the weight can be calculated using a simple formula. The formula for calculating the weight of a steel pipe is as follows:

Weight = (D – t) * t * 0.0246615 * L

Where:
– D is the outside diameter of the pipe
– t is the thickness of the pipe wall
– L is the length of the pipe in meters

For MS square and rectangular steel pipes, the outside diameter can be calculated by adding the width and height of the pipe and then multiplying by 2. Once you have the outside diameter and thickness of the pipe, you can use the formula above to calculate the weight per 6-meter length.

For example, let’s say we have an MS square steel pipe with a width of 50mm, a height of 50mm, and a wall thickness of 3mm. To calculate the weight per 6-meter length, we would first calculate the outside diameter:

Outside diameter = (50 + 50) * 2 = 200mm

Now, we can plug the values into the formula:

Weight = (200 – 3) * 3 * 0.0246615 * 6
Weight = 197 * 3 * 0.0246615 * 6
Weight = 35.47 kg

Therefore, the weight of the MS square steel pipe per 6-meter length would be 35.47 kg. This calculation can be applied to rectangular steel pipes as well, using the same formula and adjusting the dimensions accordingly.

In conclusion, understanding the weight of Schedule 40 carbon tubes is essential when working with steel pipes. By using the formula provided in this article, you can easily calculate the weight of MS square and rectangular steel pipes per 6-meter length. This information is crucial for planning and budgeting purposes, as well as ensuring the structural integrity of your projects.
