Input Data:
Specific Gravity of Contents =
Insulation Thickness, t(insul) = in.
Insulation Density = pcf
Ice Thickness, t(ice) = in.
Results:
Inputs are colored Yellow

Formulas Used:
Pipe Weight = (p*(OD2-ID2)/4)*(490/144)
(Note: standard (STD) steel pipe weights shown in table are taken from references below.)
Contents Weight = (SG*w(contents))*(p*ID2/4)/144 (Note: densitiy of water is assumed = 62.4 pcf.)
Insulation Weight = w(insul)*(t(insul)/12)*(p*(OD+t(insul))/12)
Ice Weight = w(ice)*(t(ice)/12)*(p*(OD+2*t(insul)+t(ice))/12) (Note: density of ice is assumed = 56.0 pcf.)

2.  ITT Grinnell Pipe Hanger and Engineering Manual (for pipes from 14" through 36" dia.)
