Glass Round Tube Weight Calculator

Summary

Calculate the weight of a hollow glass round tube from outer diameter, wall thickness, length, and glass density.

How it works

1. Enter the outer diameter of the glass tube.
2. Enter the wall thickness (must be less than half the outer diameter).
3. Enter the length of the tube.
4. Select or enter the glass density (borosilicate, soda-lime, or custom).
5. The calculator computes the annular cross-section area and multiplies by length to get volume.
6. Volume × density gives the mass in kg and lbs.

Use cases

• Estimate shipping weight of glass tubing orders.
• Structural load calculations for glass tube frameworks.
• Laboratory setup planning with borosilicate glass tubes.
• Material cost estimation based on glass weight.
• Checking tube specifications for industrial equipment.
• Engineering drawings that require mass properties.
