weight of tubing
I found this formula to calculate weight of steel tubing in pounds, per foot:
10.6802 x wall thickness x (diameter-wall thickness)
this means that a 1.5" diameter, .065 wall 4130 cromo tube would weight just about 1lb per foot
is that an accurate equation?
Does anybody know one for aluminum tubing?

Re: weight of tubing (743power)
The chrome moly with specs you listed would weigh 1.0092 punds/ft. 
HAHA. If you came up with that equation...more power to ya! As for my equation..: http://www.onlinemetals.com. They give you the lineal weight for almost all their material.
