Beryllium Copper Pipe Weight Calculation
The weight of a Beryllium Copper Pipe depends on its outside diameter, wall thickness and alloy density. The following table provides approximate weight values in kg/m calculated from the stated pipe dimensions using an assumed beryllium copper density of approximately 8.25 g/cm³. Actual weight can vary according to the alloy grade, temper, dimensional tolerances and applicable product specification.
| Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) | Outside Diameter (mm) | Wall Thickness (mm) | Approx. Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/8" | 10.3 | 1.73 | 0.38 |
| 1/4" | 13.7 | 2.24 | 0.67 |
| 3/8" | 17.1 | 2.31 | 0.86 |
| 1/2" | 21.3 | 2.77 | 1.33 |
| 3/4" | 26.7 | 2.87 | 1.78 |
| 1" | 33.4 | 3.38 | 2.63 |
| 1-1/4" | 42.2 | 3.56 | 3.56 |
| 1-1/2" | 48.3 | 3.68 | 4.42 |
| 2" | 60.3 | 3.91 | 5.71 |
| 2-1/2" | 73.0 | 5.16 | 9.02 |
| 3" | 88.9 | 5.49 | 11.39 |
| 4" | 114.3 | 6.02 | 15.62 |

| 10" | 273.0 | 9.27 | 58.53 |
| 12" | 323.9 | 10.31 | 75.28 |
Weight Calculation: Approximate pipe weight is calculated from the pipe cross-sectional area and an assumed beryllium copper density of approximately 8.25 g/cm³. The values are for reference only and should not replace the manufacturer's certified dimensional or weight data.
Note: The dimensions shown are standard nominal pipe dimensions used for calculation reference and do not establish that every listed size or schedule is available in every beryllium copper grade. Actual availability depends on the alloy grade, temper, product form and applicable specification.
Beryllium Copper Pipe Size Chart & Dimensions
The following table shows selected standard pipe sizes for reference. Beryllium copper pipe dimensions may vary according to grade, product form, wall thickness and applicable specification. Other sizes and custom dimensions may be available on request.
| Nominal Pipe Size | Outside Diameter (OD) | SCH 40 Wall Thickness | SCH 80 Wall Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/8" | 10.3 mm | 1.73 mm | 2.41 mm |
| 1/4" | 13.7 mm | 2.24 mm | 3.02 mm |
| 1/2" | 21.3 mm | 2.77 mm | 3.73 mm |
| 1" | 33.4 mm | 3.38 mm | 4.55 mm |
| 2" | 60.3 mm | 3.91 mm | 5.54 mm |
| 4" | 114.3 mm | 6.02 mm | 8.56 mm |
How Does Pipe Schedule Affect Beryllium Copper Pipe Pressure Suitability?
Pipe schedule identifies a standardized wall-thickness series; it does not by itself establish a universal pressure rating. Pressure suitability must be evaluated using the actual outside diameter, wall thickness, alloy grade, temper, operating temperature, allowable stress, corrosion allowance where applicable, joint configuration and the applicable design code or engineering specification.
Therefore, a higher schedule should not automatically be described as having a specific pressure rating. The allowable working pressure should be confirmed for the actual pipe dimensions, material condition and service requirements.

Why Use Beryllium Copper Pipes Instead of Other Copper Alloys?
Beryllium copper can provide a useful combination of mechanical strength, hardness, conductivity, wear resistance and fatigue performance. However, material selection should be based on the required mechanical, electrical, thermal, corrosion and service characteristics of the application rather than assuming one copper alloy is suitable for every requirement.
| Property | Beryllium Copper | Copper | Brass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Strength | High, depending on grade and temper | Generally lower | Varies by alloy |
| Electrical Conductivity | Good to high, depending on grade and temper | Very high | Generally lower than copper |
| Thermal Conductivity | Good, depending on grade and temper | Very high | Generally lower than copper |
| Wear Resistance | Good to high | Generally lower | Varies by alloy |
| Fatigue Performance | High in suitable tempers | Generally lower | Varies by alloy and temper |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good | Good | Good, depending on environment and alloy |
| Machinability | Varies by grade and condition | Generally good | Generally good |
| Typical Selection Advantage | High strength combined with useful electrical and thermal conductivity | Very high electrical and thermal conductivity | Good balance of strength, corrosion resistance and machinability |
Note: The properties shown are general comparisons. Actual performance depends on alloy grade, temper, product form, dimensions and service environment. Specific material properties should be confirmed against the applicable material specification and manufacturer's certified data.
Chemical Composition of Beryllium Copper Pipe
| Grade | Copper (%) | Beryllium (%) | Nickel/Cobalt (%) | Other Elements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C17200 | Balance | 1.80 – 2.00 | 0.20 Min | Co, Ni, Fe Controlled |
| C17300 | Balance | 1.85 – 2.00 | 0.20 Min | Lead Added for Machinability |
| C17500 | Balance | 0.40 – 0.70 | Nickel Added | High Conductivity Alloy |
