Pipe Weight Per Foot Calculator
This formula can be used to determine the weight per foot for any size of pipe with any wall thickness.
Formula: 10.69*(Outer Diameter - Wall Thickness)*Wall Thickness
The Formula is Expressed as P=2St/D, Where:
P = pressure, psig
T = nominal wall thickness, in inches (i.e. .375)
D = outside Diameter in inches
S = allowable stress in psi, which depends on the pressure being determined utilizing Yield or Tensile depending on what is trying to be determined.
For Example:
Internal Pressure at Minimum Yield:
S= SMYS – minimum yield for grade of pipe
Ultimate Bursting Pressure:
S = SMTS – minimum tensile strength for grade of pipe
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure:
S = SMYS – reduced by a design factor
Mill Hydrostatic Test Pressure:
S = SMYS – reduced by a design factor depending on OD and grade
Barlow's Formula Calculator
Barlow's Formula relates the internal pressure that a pipe can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material.
The Formula is Expressed as P=2St/D, Where:

D = outside Diameter in inches
