To answer this question the following assumptions have been made:

  • ms = mild steel
  • OD = outer diameter
  • Density of mild steel = 7.85 gcm-3

The easiest method of calculating the volume of a material forming a hollow cylinder is to:

  • Calculate the volume of the cylinder as if it were solid using the outer diameter
  • Find the inner (hollow) volume by subtracting 2 x the material thickness from the outer diameter and calculating the volume of the inner (hollow) cylinder.
  • The inner volume of the cylinder can then be subtracted from the outer to give the volume of solid material.
  • From this the mass can be calculated.
Volume of cylinder:Diameter = 65 cm

Radius = 32.5 cm

Area = pi(r)2 = 3,318.31 cm2

Volume = Area x Height

= 3,318.31 x 120

= 398,197.2 cm3

Volume of inner (hollow) cylinder:Diameter = 62.6 cm

Radius = 31.3 cm

Area = pi(r)2 = 3,077.79 cm2

Volume = 3,077.79 x 120

= 369,334.8 cm3

Volume of steel forming pipe:Volume of steel = Total volume - Inner volume

= 398,197.2 - 369,334.8

= 28,862.4 cm3

Mass of steel forming pipe:Mass = Density x Volume

= 7.85 x 28,862.4

= 226,569.84 g

Mass of pipe = 226.57 kg

Use the outside diameter to calculate the volume of the cylinder as if it was not hollow.

2*PI*R*L where PI = 3.14, R = radius = 1/2 of diameter, L = length or height

Then calculate the volume of the cylinder represented by the void inside using the same formula. Subtract this from the first volume and thats your answer.

You can also represent it in the form of OD (outside diameter) and ID (inside diameter) to get.

2*PI*L*(OD/2 - ID/2) where R is represented by half of the diameter in each case

Find the circumference of the exterior of the pipe, then find the circumference of the interior. subtract the two to find the thickness of the pipe. then multiply the length of the pipe. Now you have the mass of the pipe, so calculate that into the weight of steel or aluminum or whatever the pipe is made of.

0.02464*1.2*(25-1.2)=0.70371 kg/m

=0.70371*6=4.2223 kg/m

No set answer to that, as steel pipes come in various diameters and wall thicknesses. If you want to be real accurate, they also come in various steel alloys, which do have some difference in density between them.
