How the weight is calculated
Weight per foot = 10.69 × (OD − t) × t = 10.69 × (7.625 − 0.301) × 0.301 = 23.57 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 7" Schedule 40 pipe weigh?
7" Sch 40 pipe weighs 23.57 lb/ft (35.08 kg/m). A 21 ft random length weighs about 495 lb and a 6 m length about 210.5 kg.
What is the outside diameter of 7" pipe?
7.625 in (193.7 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 7" Schedule 40 pipe weigh full of water?
40.36 lb/ft: 23.57 lb/ft of steel plus 16.79 lb/ft of water (60.08 kg/m in total). Use this for pipe support and hanger loads.
What is the inside diameter of 7" Schedule 40 pipe?
7.023 in (178.4 mm), from OD − 2 × wall = 7.625 − 2 × 0.301.
