HDPE PIPE WEIGHT

HDPE Pipe Weight Calculator

The HDPE Pipe Weight Calculator helps you estimate the weight of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes per meter using the outside diameter and SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio). This tool is useful for engineers, contractors, and project planners to quickly calculate pipe weight for transportation, installation, and cost estimation.

HDPE pipes are widely used in water supply, drainage systems, gas pipelines, and industrial applications due to their flexibility, strength, and corrosion resistance. Knowing the pipe weight is essential for proper handling and structural planning.

How to Use

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Enter the Outside Diameter of the pipe (in millimeters).

Step 2: Enter the SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) value.

Step 3: Click the Calculate button to get the result.

Step 4: Click the Reset button to clear all values.

What You Will Get

After entering the values, the calculator will display:

  • Weight per Meter (kg/m) – the weight of the HDPE pipe for one meter length

Formula Used

First, calculate wall thickness:

Wall Thickness (t) = Outside Diameter / SDR

Then calculate weight:

Weight per Meter (kg/m) =
(π / 4) × (D² − (D − 2t)²) × Density

Where:

  • D = Outside Diameter (mm)

  • t = Wall Thickness (mm)

  • Density of HDPE ≈ 0.00000095 kg/mm³

Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Water supply and irrigation systems

  • Gas distribution pipelines

  • Industrial piping networks

  • Underground drainage systems

  • Project estimation and material planning

Advantages of HDPE Pipes

  • Lightweight and flexible

  • High impact resistance

  • Corrosion and chemical resistant

  • Long service life

  • Leak-proof jointing
