Weight Calculation Formula:
| From: | To: |
The weight of water filled pipe calculation determines the mass of water contained within a cylindrical pipe based on its dimensions. This is important for structural engineering, plumbing design, and fluid transport systems.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of the cylindrical pipe (πr²l) and multiplies by the density of water to get the mass in kilograms.
Details: Accurate weight calculation is crucial for structural support design, transportation planning, and ensuring pipe systems can handle the fluid load without failure.
Tips: Enter the radius and length in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the weight of water in kilograms.
Q1: Why use 1000 as the density multiplier?
A: 1000 kg/m³ is the approximate density of water at standard temperature and pressure conditions.
Q2: Does this calculation account for pipe wall thickness?
A: No, this calculation only considers the internal volume of the pipe filled with water. The pipe material weight is not included.
Q3: Can this be used for other fluids?
A: Yes, but you would need to replace the 1000 with the specific density of the fluid in kg/m³.
Q4: What if my pipe dimensions are in different units?
A: Convert all measurements to meters before inputting. For example, convert centimeters to meters by dividing by 100.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise for perfect cylindrical pipes. Real-world variations in pipe shape and water density may cause slight differences.
