Formula

Volume = (π / 4) × (OD² − ID²) × Length
Weight = Volume × 11,340 kg/m³

Summary

Enter outer diameter, inner diameter, and length of a lead tube to instantly get its weight in kg and lbs.

How it works

  1. Enter the outer diameter of the lead tube.
  2. Enter the inner diameter (bore) of the tube.
  3. Enter the length of the tube.
  4. Choose your preferred unit — millimeters or inches.
  5. The calculator uses the hollow-cylinder volume formula and multiplies by lead density (11,340 kg/m³).
  6. Results are shown instantly in both kg and lbs.

Use cases

  • Estimating lead pipe weight for plumbing projects.
  • Calculating lead shielding tube mass for radiation protection.
  • Material cost estimation for lead fabrication work.
  • Verifying supplier weight specifications for lead tubing.
  • Engineering load calculations involving lead hollow sections.
