There are way too many variables to answer this.
what's the head pressure?
how long is the run?
any 90 or 45 degree bends?
what type pipe?

Pipe has friction , the longer the run the more pressure that is needed to get the same flow, same with bends in the pipe or fittings.
For Swimming Pools we normally figure we can flow 60 gpm with 2 inch pipe.
but again there are things to consider.

What is the flow volume difference between 1.25 inch vs 2 inch pipe?

If the flow velocity remains the same the flow volume will increase by the square of the diameter ratio.(2/1.25) = 1.6 = diameter ratio1.62 = 2.56 more flow volume through 2 inch pipe compared to 1.25 inch pipe.

A four inch pipe carry how much more volume than a 2 inch pipe?

It is based on the flow area, which is proportional to the square of the diameter. 2 squared = 4. 4 squared = 16. So, the 4 inch pipe can take 16/4 = 4 times the volume of the 2 inch pipe. It might be less confusing if you had picked sizes other than 2 and 4. This is a rough calculation, since pipe inside diameters are not the same as nominal sizes, but close enough for most purposes.


Will adding a second submersible pump of the same size using a Y coupling increase the flow in a 2 inch discharge pipe with a head of 25 feet?

The 2" pipe will only handle so much water and no more. Even an 8 horse power pump will not increase the flow in a 2" pipe. 2" plumbing has only a certain capacity and no more.


How much water will a 2 inch pipe gravity flow?

Depends on many factors, such as smoothness of pipe, hydrostatic head, etc. But you can expect anywhere from 50 gal/min to 150 gal/min.

How much 2 inch pipe will hold a gallon of water?

A two inch pipe can hold 0.1632 gallons per foot. It takes slightly over 6 feet of two inch pipe to hold one gallon of water.


How do you compare the volumes of 6 inch pipe with 4 in pipe?

By calculating the areas of circles with diameters 6 and 4 and comparing those: pi3^2=pi9 pi2^2=pi4 pi9/pi4=9/4=2.25 So the 6 inch pipe holds 2.25 times as much as the 4 inch pipe.


How do you transform a 1.5 inch PVC pipe to a 2 inch pipe?

Put an adapter between them. You can't transform it, you can replace it or change it at some point to 2 inch and continue with 2 inch.


What is the maximum amount of water that can flow in a 2 inch pipe one half mile long?

Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.
