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
- Enter the outer diameter of the lead tube.
- Enter the inner diameter (bore) of the tube.
- Enter the length of the tube.
- Choose your preferred unit — millimeters or inches.
- The calculator uses the hollow-cylinder volume formula and multiplies by lead density (11,340 kg/m³).
- 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.
- Comparing tube weights across different wall thicknesses.
