A new pipe weight calculator has been added to the FT Pipeline Systems website.
Simply fill in the outside pipe diameter and wall thickness and let the calculator provide you with a weight per metre of both uncoated steel pipe and cement mortar lined steel pipe.
This is a simple addition to our website, but based on the number of enquiries we receive every month concerning exactly this issue, we hope it will prove hugely beneficial to pipeline engineers, enabling the pre-determination of any potential transport, lifting and handling issues involved in pipeline schemes.
Duncan Frazer, Managing Director of FT Pipeline Systems, said: “We feel that the FT Pipeline Systems pipe weight calculator has the potential to become an important element of our website, providing added value to any new visitors looking to make enquiries regarding the requirements of the pipeline systems.
“It is obviously still of great importance to speak to our professional sales team, since it’s imperative that the measurements are accurate and suitable for the task at hand – the weight calculator simply enables engineers to estimate any logistical requirements of the pipe network they are planning.”
The calculator can be found on the FT Pipeline Systems website at : http://www.ftpipelinesystems.co.uk/pipe_weight_calculator.cfm
