๐ Understanding Weight & Gauge in SS Pipes
๐น What is Pipe Gauge?
The gauge of a pipe refers to its wall thickness, expressed using a number. A lower gauge = thicker wall and vice versa. Pipe gauges follow Birmingham Wire Gauge (BWG) or Standard Steel Tube Gauge.
| Gauge (BWG) | Wall Thickness (mm) |
|---|---|
| 10 | 3.40 |
| 12 | 2.64 |
| 14 | 2.03 |
| 16 | 1.65 |
| 18 | 1.24 |
| 20 | 0.91 |
| 22 | 0.71 |
๐น What is Pipe Weight?
The weight of a stainless steel pipe depends on its outer diameter (OD), wall thickness, and density of stainless steel (which is ~7.9 g/cm³ for SS 304).
