Formulas:

Pipe and Tube Weight Per Foot Calculation
W = C (D - t) t

Where W = Weight lbs/ft (Kg/m)

C = 10.69 (0.0247) for Carbon Steel,
10.93 (0.0248) for Austenitic Stainless Steel
D = Outside Diameter, inch (mm)
t = Wall Thickness, inch (mm)
.

Cross - Sectional Area
A = 3.1416 t (D - t)

Where A = Sectional Area, inch2

D =

Outside Diameter, inches

t =

Wall Thickness, inches
.

Carbon Equivalent
CE = %C + (%Mn/6)+(%Cr + %Mo + %V/5)+(%Ni + %Cu/15)

C = Carbon Mo = Molybdenum
Mn = Manganese V = Vanadium
Cr = Chromium Ni = Nickel
Cu = Copper
.

Barlow's Formula
P = (2 t s) / D

Barlow's Formula is an easy method of predicting the bursting pressures of pipe and tube that are within actual test bursting pressures.

P = internal units pressure, psi
S = unit stress, psi
D = outside diameter of pipe, inches
t = wall thickness, inches
