Frequently asked questions

How much does DN100 SCH40 steel pipe weigh per metre?

OD 114.3 × 6.02 mm: 0.02466 × (114.3 − 6.02) × 6.02 ≈ 16.08 kg/m.

How much does DN50 SCH40 pipe weigh per metre?

OD 60.3 × 3.91 mm ≈ 5.44 kg/m. A 6 m length weighs about 32.6 kg.

How much does a 6 m length of DN150 SCH40 pipe weigh?

OD 168.3 × 7.11 mm ≈ 28.26 kg/m → 6 m length ≈ 169.6 kg.

What is the difference between DN and OD?

DN (or NPS in inches) is the nominal size used to name a pipe, not a measured dimension. Weight must be calculated with the actual outside diameter OD, e.g. DN100 has OD 114.3 mm.
