When working with titanium pipes in construction, engineering, or manufacturing, it’s essential to know the weight per meter and total weight for cost estimation, transport, and design calculations. The Titanium Pipe Weight Calculator helps you find these values quickly using just the pipe’s outer diameter, wall thickness, and length.
Formula to Calculate Titanium Pipe Weight
The basic formula for calculating the weight of a titanium pipe is:
Weight per meter=(4π×(D2−d2))×ρ×10−6
Where:
- D = Outer Diameter (mm)
- d = Inner Diameter (mm) = D−2t
- t = Wall Thickness (mm)
- ρ = Density of Titanium = 4.51 g/cm³ = 4510 kg/m³
- π = 3.1416
- The factor 10−6
- converts mm³ to m³
Formula for Total Pipe Weight
To find the total weight of the pipe:
Total Weight=Weight per meter×Length
Example Calculation
Let’s calculate the weight of a titanium pipe with the following specifications:
- Outer Diameter (D) = 100 mm
- Wall Thickness (t) = 5 mm
- Length (L) = 6 m
- Density of Titanium (ρ) = 4510 kg/m³
First, calculate the inner diameter:
d=D−2t=100−2(5)=90mm
Now, calculate the weight per meter:
Weight per meter=(43.1416×(1002−902))×4510×10−6=6.74kg/m
Finally, total pipe weight:
Total Weight=6.74×6=40.44kg
Importance of Titanium in Construction
Titanium (symbol Ti) is a strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant metal used in:
- Architectural facades
- Structural fasteners and joints
- Roofing and cladding systems
- Marine and aerospace applications
Its low density and high tensile strength make it ideal for durable and lightweight structures.
FAQs
1. What is the density of titanium used in the calculator?
The standard density of titanium is 4510 kg/m³ (or 4.51 g/cm³). This value ensures accurate weight estimation for titanium pipes.
2. How accurate is the titanium pipe weight calculation?
The result is highly accurate if you input the correct outer diameter, wall thickness, and pipe length. However, slight variations may occur due to alloy composition or manufacturing tolerance.
3. Can I use this calculator for other metals like steel or aluminum?
Yes, but you’ll need to replace the density value with that of the metal you’re using.
- Steel ≈ 7850 kg/m³
- Aluminum ≈ 2700 kg/m³
4. Why is my result too low or too high?
This usually happens when:
- The unit conversion (mm to m) is missed.
- The density is entered incorrectly (e.g., 4.51 instead of 4510).
- Double-check your units to fix it.
