The weight of MS Square and Rectangular Hollow Pipes depends on outer dimensions and wall thickness. Theoretical weights are based on steel density (7.85 g/cm³).
*Theoretical values may vary slightly based on BIS tolerances.
Weight (kg) = 2 × (Width + Height − 2 × Thickness) × Thickness × 0.00785 × Length
Where:
Width = Outer Width (mm)
Height = Outer Height (mm)
Thickness = Wall Thickness (mm)
Length = Pipe Length (m)
Example: For a 50×25 mm pipe with 2 mm thickness and 6 m length:
Weight = 2 × (50 + 25 − 4) × 2 × 0.00785 × 6 = 13.39 kg
