Note that for most pipes nominal size is not equal to inside diameter.
The volume of a pipe is equal to the volume of a liquid inside if a pipe is fully filled with it.
Nominal refers to pipe in non specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non dimensional number for example 2 inch nominal steel pipe consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2 375 inch 60 3 mm outside diameter.
1 lb ft 1 49 kg m.
For exact volumes check the pipe documentation or standard and use the calculator below.
The volume of fluid in a pipe can be found given the inner diameter of the pipe and the length.
Liquid mass volume liquid density.
For a pipe use its length instead of height.
Pipe volume π radius length where radius inner diameter 2.
1 gal us ft 12 4 liter m.
The mass of the liquid is taken from the transformed density formula.
That said we put together the following tables to serve as general guides for estimating a pipe s water flow capacity.
Thus the volume of a pipe is equal to pi times the pipe diameter d squared over 4 times the length of the pipe h.
To estimate pipe volume use the following formula.
