What Do GI Pipe Size Numbers Mean?
GI pipe may be described by DN size, inch size, outside diameter, wall thickness, series or schedule. These terms are related, but they are not interchangeable.

The kg/m columns are catalogue reference masses of black tube, separately for plain ends and screwed-and-socketed ends; they are not galvanized finished-pipe or measured shipment weights.

Confirm the applicable standard, dimensions, tolerances, coating, end treatment and agreed weighing basis for each order.
How to Read the BS 1387 Size Chart
Nominal Diameter and Inch Size
They identify the pipe category rather than the exact measured outside diameter.
Outside Diameter Range
Confirm this value when matching fittings, threads and connection systems.
Medium vs Heavy Series
Heavy series has a thicker wall and higher unit weight for the same nominal size.
Pipe Ends
Confirm whether the order requires plain, threaded, socketed or grooved ends.
GI Pipe Weight Chart by Diameter and Wall Thickness
Pipe length: 6.0 m fixed length per piece. DN denotes nominal bore, not actual outside diameter. Listed weights are for reference only. Confirm the applicable standard, actual dimensions, coating, end treatment and agreed weighing basis with your quotation.

How to Calculate GI Pipe Weight
kg/m = 0.02466 × t × (OD − t)
Weight per piece = kg/m × length. Total order weight = weight per piece × quantity.
Example:
OD 60.3 mm × 3.2 mm wall × 6 m
≈ 4.51 kg/m
≈ 27.04 kg/pc

- Wall thickness or series
- Pipe length
- Zinc coating
- Pipe ends
- Quantity and destination
- Packaging requirement
Frequently Asked Questions
Are DN size and inch size exact measurements?
No. They are nominal designations.
What is the difference between Medium and Heavy pipe?
Heavy series has a thicker wall and higher unit weight.
How much does a 6-meter GI pipe weigh?
It depends on outside diameter and wall thickness.
