Pipes are sold in different materials, sizes, and lengths—PVC, steel, copper, PEX, and more. When comparing suppliers, it’s often difficult to know which option gives the best price per meter or foot.
The Pipe Price Calculator simplifies this process by showing the cost per unit length (meter, foot, or yard). This makes it easier to compare different pipes and buy the most cost-effective option for your project.
Formula
Price per Unit Length=Total PricePipe Length\text{Price per Unit Length} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Pipe Length}}Price per Unit Length=Pipe LengthTotal Price
Where:
- Total Price = cost of the pipe
- Pipe Length = pipe size in meters, feet, or yards
How to Use the Pipe Price Calculator
- Enter the total price of the pipe.
- Enter the pipe length (meter, foot, or yard).
- Select your unit of measurement.
- Get the cost per unit length instantly.
Example Calculations
Example 1 – Compare Two PVC Pipes
- Pipe A: 3 meters for $18
- Pipe B: 5 meters for $25
Pipe A: 183=6 per meter\text{Pipe A: } \frac{18}{3} = 6 \, \text{per meter}Pipe A: 318=6per meter Pipe B: 255=5 per meter\text{Pipe B: } \frac{25}{5} = 5 \, \text{per meter}Pipe B: 525=5per meter
👉 Pipe B is cheaper per meter.
Example 2 – Price Per Foot
- Steel Pipe: 10 ft for $40
4010=4\frac{40}{10} = 41040=4
👉 Price per foot = $4
