weight of water

weight of water

(OP)
Can someone tell me the weight of 60" 5/8 wall thickness per foot and also the weight of water in a 60" line per foot weight. Thanks

RE: weight of water

If it is CS pipe then it weighs approximately 181.898 kgs.

The calculation is 3.142 X (60"/12)ft X 1 ft X 5/(8x12) ft = 0.818 cu.ft = 0.0232 cu.m (1 cu.m = 35.28 cu.ft)

Weight of the pipe = volume X specific weight of steel
=0.0232 cu.m X 7843 kg/cu.m = 181.898 kgs.

For weight of water: 3.142X(ID)[script]2[/script]xlength/4

This will give you volume of pipe if you consider length as 1 foot. convert it to cu.m (for I am very poor in feet, nah I don't say my own feet)

Specific weight of water is 1000kg/cu.m. Multiply the volume by specific weight and you will get weight of water.

hey wrong scripting.Read this instead.

Hood1,

It sounds like you are designing for the supports.

If your 60" pipe is designed to certain standards (i.e. BS, ASTM, etc.), the standards will tell you the approximate weight it should be. If it is special made, then the pipe manufacturer will always be able to help.

Please also take into account for the weight of the internal lining (i.e. cement, epoxy lining, etc.), connection method (i.e. flanged, spligot, etc.)
