Estimating the Weight of Pipe. 2 Minute Tool Box. ABCS.ca

It seems to me that the "Cake" constant is the weight of carbon steel measuring 1" x 1" x 12" (based off of 490# per ft³ divided by 144) and multiplied by π. By using this constant, it already incorporates thickness in inches, length in feet(12" dimension in the basis piece) and incorporates π, meaning you don't have to take the step of finding the circumference.

What about density for various materials?

where..oh where...WHERE !! does the 10.69 come from How is the constant (10.69) derived ???

Is it a steel pipe or concrete? What material does cake apply to?

What is you have a 12” pipe? The you use the ID or OD for this formula?

[buvanesha]

Hi, i think its wrong because you are calculating the dia. is the inch. and length is the feet. Please clarify me, if i am wrong. Thanks.

How to calculate pvc pipe weight using its thickness
Eg : 4" pipe, 6.6mm thickness...6 mtr length

If it is iron:
(OD - ID) ÷ .0668 = PIPE WEIGHT IN LBS PER FT.

What is the unit of 10.69 in order to get the weight, which is pounds?

wait....what the Kentucky fried f#@% is Cake
