JIS G3444 STK540 Dimensions and Weight Chart

JIS G3444 STK540 Steel Pipe dimensions are specified according to JIS G3444 Carbon Steel Tubes for General Structural Purposes. The standard covers structural carbon steel tubes with outside diameters generally ranging from 21.7 mm to 1016.0 mm. The unit weight is calculated based on a steel density of 7.85 g/cm³ using the formula:

W = 0.02466 × t × (D − t)

Where:

  • W= Unit mass (kg/m)
  • t= Wall thickness (mm)
  • D= Outside diameter (mm)
