Calculate the (diameter of the pipe (D) divide by 2) squared X pi * length and this will give you the volume.
eg
Volume = (D/2)2 X Pi X Length. (or R2 X Pi X Length)
(Use 3.14159265359 as an approximation for Pi.)
In practice, 11/14 Times Diameter is used in lieu of (R2 X Pi) as a quick and dirty but near enough approximation.

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 pipe takeoff?
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.
Calculate the volume in cubic feet for a pipe line that is 14 inches in diameter and 2156' long?
pi x 7/12 x 7/12 x 2156
How do you calculate pipe volume?
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 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.
