Calculating volume and weight of the RCC Hume pipe.

 Let us consider the RCC pipe of 2.5mtr. length with 900mm. outer diameter, having a wall thickness of 100mm.

RCC pipe dimension.

Here, outer diameter D= 900 mm.,  wall thickness t = 100mm., and length of the pipe L = 2.5mtr.

RCC pipe.

Now, inner diameter d = D - ( 2 × t) =  900 - ( 2× 100) = 700mm. 

The volume of the RCC pipe = π/4 ×  (D2- d2) × L.

= (3.142/ 4 ) ×  (0.92 - 0.72) × 2.5

  = 0.7855 × 0.32 × 2.5 = 0.6284 cubic meter.

As you know, the density of RCC is 2500kg/cu.mtr.

Weight of the RCC Hume pipe = volume  × density

                                                 = 0.6284   ×  2500 

                                                = 1571 kg.

Similarly, you can calculate the weight of the  RCC pipe of different dimensions. Here, you have to replace the dimension in the above formula to get the answer.

Note:  

The collar part, as you can see in the above fig. can be calculated separately, and adding the pipe and collar weight gives the accurate result.
