IS 1161:2014 – Steel tubes for structural purpose
This calculator is built according to
IS 1161:2014
– the Indian Standard for Cold-Formed and Hot-Formed Welded Steel Circular Steel Tubes.
It defines the mechanical properties, sectional dimensions, and
tolerances essential for reliable strength and weldability.

MS Round Pipe Weight Chart
The weight of MS Circular Hollow Pipes depends on outer diameter and wall thickness.
Theoretical weights are based on steel density (7.85 g/cm³).
*Theoretical values may vary slightly based on BIS tolerances.
How to Calculate MS Round Pipe Weight
Weight (kg) = (OD − Thickness) × Thickness × 0.02466 × Length
Where:
OD = Outer Diameter (mm)
Thickness = Wall Thickness (mm)
Length = Pipe Length (m)
Example: For a 50 mm OD pipe with 3 mm thickness and 6 m length:
Weight = (50 − 3) × 3 × 0.02466 × 6 = 20.79 kg
Why Use an MS Round Pipe Weight Calculator
- Accurate Material Estimation: Prevents under or over-ordering.
- Cost Calculation: Auto-calculates total price and GST.
- Time-Saving: Eliminates manual calculation errors.
- Transport Planning: Helps determine safe load weight for shipping.
