Take the inside diameter, from inner edge to opposite inner edge and going through the middle. Divide this by two to give you an inside radius. Multiply this by itself to give the radius squared, then multiply this by Pi to give inside area. Finally, multiply this by the length of the pipe to give the volume.

The volume of the interior of a pipe (or any circular cylinder) is the cross-sectional area multiplied by the length (volume = pi x radius x radius x length).
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
Volume of a cylinder = (pi) x (Radius)2 x (Length)
To calculate pipe takeoff, first measure the total length of the pipe needed, considering all fittings and bends. Then, determine the pipe's diameter and material, as these factors influence the amount of material required. Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (V = πr²h) to calculate the volume of the pipe, adjusting for any fittings. Finally, convert the volume to weight using the material's density if necessary, ensuring to account for any waste or scrap in your calculations.
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)
