Doug,
Would the weight of the tubes themselves affect the net bouyance?
Thanks,
Mickey

The tubes displace assuming outside dia. 3 feet in water and 3 tubes 
(1.5in)(1.5in)(3.14)/4  area of cross section of pipe
x36in long x 3 tubes = 191 cubic in. 

so you're guess of a gallon  which is 231 cubic inches is close.

191/231 x approx 8lb/gallon = 6.6lbs buoyancy force.

Snip
