Pipe
Weight = (p*(OD2-ID2)/4)*(490/144) (Note: x-strong steel pipe weights shown in table are taken from references below.)
Contents
Weight = (SG*w(contents))*(p*ID2/4)/144 (Note: densitiy of water is assumed = 62.4 pcf.)
Insulation w(insul)*(t(insul)/12)*(p*
Weight = (OD+t(insul))/12)
Ice Weight
= w(ice)*(t(ice)/12)*(p*(OD+2*t(insul)+t(ice))/12) (Note: density of ice is assumed = 56.0 pcf.)
