How the weight is calculated

Weight per foot = 10.69 × (OD − t) × t = 10.69 × (10.75 − 0.365) × 0.365 = 40.52 lb/ft.

The factor 10.69 is the density of carbon steel (0.2836 lb/in³) × π × 12 in/ft.

Frequently asked questions

How much does 10" Schedule 40 pipe weigh?

10" Sch 40 pipe weighs 40.52 lb/ft (60.31 kg/m). A 21 ft random length weighs about 851 lb and a 6 m length about 361.9 kg.

What is the outside diameter of 10" pipe?

10.75 in (273.1 mm). The outside diameter is the same for every schedule; a higher schedule means a thicker wall and a smaller inside diameter.

How much does 10" Schedule 40 pipe weigh full of water?

74.71 lb/ft: 40.52 lb/ft of steel plus 34.19 lb/ft of water (111.20 kg/m in total). Use this for pipe support and hanger loads.

What is the inside diameter of 10" Schedule 40 pipe?

10.020 in (254.6 mm), from OD − 2 × wall = 10.75 − 2 × 0.365.
