How many barrels in a 6 inch pipe 1000 feet long?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of a 6-inch diameter pipe that is 1,000 feet long, first determine the cross-sectional area using the formula for the area of a circle (A = πr²). The radius is 3 inches (0.25 feet), so the area is approximately 0.19635 square feet. Multiplying this by the length of the pipe (1,000 feet) gives a volume of about 196.35 cubic feet. Since there are 42 gallons in a barrel, and 1 cubic foot equals approximately 7.48 gallons, the total volume in barrels is about 520.5 barrels.
