When you calculate the volume of pipe(or cylinder, as I prefer calling it), you need to know 2 things; the height of the cylinder and the radius of the circle(base of the cylinder). Then you use this formula; hpr^2 (height * pi * radius)

How do you calculate volume of water in a pipe?

measure the radius of the pipe. (half the diameter - the width of the pipe) then measure the length of the pipe. then use the formula pi (3.14) x radius2 x length. the answer is the volume in the pipe


How do you calculate the volume of oil in a pipeline?

If we assume that the pipe is completely full of oil, it would just be the volume of the pipe = pi * r2 * l, where pi = 3.14159, r = radius, and l = length of the pipe. If the pipe is not full, then multiply the volume by the percentage of oil in the pipe. For example, if 50% full, then multiply by .5. If the pipe bends, take into account the different volume of the bend. If the bend is 90 degrees, this can be accomplished by taking the average length of the two bent segments for the length.


How to calculate Volume of natural gas in pipe?

You need the inside radius (1/2 the inside diameter) of the pipe and the pipe's length. Then, use this formula:Volume = Pi x r2 x length


How many gallons in a pipe 4 feet diameter by 6 feet long?

Use the formula for a cylinder to calculate the volume. This volume will be in cubic feet; you can then convert that to gallons.


How can you calculate the weight of a ms hollow pipe 90mm OD - 1.20 mm thickness - length 6000 mm?

If you Google "mild steel density" you find that a value of 7.85 is not uncommon.If you calculate the volume of steel in your pipe (Google "volume of cylinder") calculate the volume of the OD cylinder and subtract the volume of the ID cylinder and multiply that by the density you get the mass of the pipe multiply that by the gravitational constant (Google "gravitational constant") of your location to get the weight.Or you could just Google "ms pipe weight calculator" (see the Sources and related links below) find the pipe shape and put in your values, hit "Calculate" and get the answer 34.6889 lbs (which has far too many significant figures (converted to kg by Google as 15.7 kg still with one significant figure too many as two of the original dimensions only had two significant figures)
