How much weight will a capped 6 inch PVC pipe 10 feet long support in water on a raft?

One cubic foot of water weighs 62.42796 pounds. The volume of a 10 foot long 6 inch diameter cylinder is 1.96350 cubic feet, thus it displaces 122.5770 pounds of water when fully submerged.
As I do not know the wall thickness of the PVC pipe and caps you plan to use I cannot calculate its weight. However if I assume for illustration purposes that the pipe weighs 5 pounds per foot and each cap weighs 2 pounds, then the capped pipe weighs 54 pounds. Subtracting this would mean that the capped pipe will support 68.5770 pounds when fully submerged.
Do not trust this final number because as I stated I guessed at the weight of the PVC components so that I could illustrate the calculation. Determine the actual weight of the PVC components you are using yourself and recalculate that final subtraction. Also for safety you should provide a margin of at least 10% on your final values to allow for anything that may not have been accounted for.

How much water is a cube?
Since we don't know the weight of the cube itself, we can only tell the weight of the water. Since the volume of a 3-foot cube is 27 cubic feet, we find that 27 cubic feet is equal to 202 gallons. Because one gallon of water weighs about 8.35 pounds, we multiply 202 x 8.35 for a result of 1,686.7 pounds for the water alone.
