First work out the cross sectional area

Assume 2″ is outside diameter = 50.8mm

then inside diameter = 50.8 – 2 x 3.9mm = 43mm

Area = (50.8^2 – 43^2) * Pi/4 = 574.6mm2

Volume is length x area = 5.8 x 574.6/1000000 m3

Density of pvc is about 1400kg/m3

Multiply volume by density to obtain weight in kg.
