The Weight of a Pipe's Contents calculator computes the weight or mass (M) of the contents of a section of a pipe based on the interior diameter (d) of                      Section of Pipe    circular conduit or pipe, the length (l) of the pipe and a (μD)mean density of its contents.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (d) Inner diameter of the pipe.
• (l) Length of the pipe.
• (μD) Mean density of contents.

Mean Density of Common Substances

• 1,000 kg/m3 - Pure Water
• 1,022 kg/m3 - Sea water
• 1,037 kg/m3 - Milk
• 860 kg/m3 - Olive Oil
• 885 kg/m3 - Diesel Fuel
• 870 - 920 kg/m3 - Crude Oil
• 890 kg/m3 - Fuel Oil
• 789 kg/m3 - Ethanol
• 737 kg/m3 - Gasoline (petrol)
• 1,442 kg/m3 - Cement Slurry

Weight or Mass of the Contents of a Pipe (W):  The calculator returns the weight in pounds.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units (e.g. kilograms) via the pull-down menu.

#### The Math / Science

• M =π⋅(d/2)2⋅l⋅mD
