Hollow Tube Material calculator.

Calculate the solid material volume and mass in a hollow tube from inside and outside diameters.

MEASUREMENT

Your inputs

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Uses straight tube wall geometry. It does not rate pressure, strength or pipe suitability.

V = π(OD²−ID²)L/4; mass = VρCalculated with normalised units
