1.25" OD x 0.12" wall titanium round tube weighs 0.818 lb per ft (1.22 kg per m). Weight = cross-section area x length x 0.16 lb per cubic inch.
How much does titanium round tube weigh per foot?
| Size | Area (sq in) | lb per ft | kg per m | 12 ft length, lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5" OD x 0.065" wall | 0.0888 | 0.171 | 0.25 | 2.0 |
| 0.75" OD x 0.065" wall | 0.1399 | 0.269 | 0.40 | 3.2 |
| 1" OD x 0.065" wall | 0.1909 | 0.367 | 0.55 | 4.4 |
| 1" OD x 0.12" wall | 0.3318 | 0.637 | 0.95 | 7.6 |
| 1.25" OD x 0.12" wall | 0.4260 | 0.818 | 1.22 | 9.8 |
| 1.5" OD x 0.12" wall | 0.5202 | 0.999 | 1.49 | 12.0 |
| 2" OD x 0.12" wall | 0.7087 | 1.361 | 2.03 | 16.3 |
| 2" OD x 0.25" wall | 1.3744 | 2.639 | 3.93 | 31.7 |
| 3" OD x 0.25" wall | 2.1598 | 4.147 | 6.17 | 49.8 |
Formula: area = pi / 4 x (OD squared minus ID squared); weight = area x length x 0.16 lb/in3. Corner radii are ignored, so real stock runs one to three percent lighter than the table. For any other size use the metal weight calculator.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the weight of titanium round tube?
Multiply the cross-section area in square inches by the length in inches and by the density, 0.16 lb per cubic inch for titanium (6Al-4V). For this shape the area is: area = pi / 4 x (OD squared minus ID squared). A foot of stock is 12 inches, so weight per foot is area x 12 x 0.16.
How does titanium compare with steel by weight?
Titanium is 44% lighter than carbon steel for the same size: 0.16 lb per cubic inch against 0.2836. The same bar or plate in titanium weighs 0.56 times the steel figure.
