Calculate the weight of a 5-inch water-filled stainless steel 10S pipe that is 37 feet long. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Question

Nominal Pipe Size - Sch. # - O.D - I.D - Wall Thickness - Norminal Weight Plain End - Nominal Weight Waterfill.

5 - 10s - 5.563 - 5.295 - 0.134 - 7.77 - 9.54

Can someone please explain how this calculates to 352.98.

Answer 1

Nominal weight waterfill is the key parameter 9.54. The other data describe the dimensions of the Schedule 10 pipe (pipe size, schedule number, inner and outer diameters, etc.). I guess that 9.54 is the weight (pounds?) per foot, so 37×9.54=352.98 (pounds).
