The Weight PVC Schedule 40 Conduit calculator estimates the total weight of Schedule 40 PVC conduit and pipes based on the size (S) of the conduit or pipe, the length (L) and whether it is PVC or CPVC.

PVC Schedule 40 Conduit Weight(w): The calculator returns the estimated weight in pounds. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
PVC is the abbreviation for Polyvinyl Chloride. PVC is the a widely used synthetic material used in many products including pipes. There are two main types of PVC pipes, regular PVC and CPVC which has better properties for handling higher temperatures. PVC Pipes are also characterized by their thickness which is indexed by schedule, where schedule 40 is PVC with thinner walls and schedule 80 has thicker walls. The relationship between length of conduit, size of PVC and the weight comes from industry standard numbers. The table above is the basis of this calculator and it shows the mass / weight value of the PVC per foot.
