IPS- Iron Pipe Size (Threaded Pipe) Standard pipe threads. Female IPS is internal pipe threads, male IPS are external pipe threads. Also known as "NPT" or "NPS". CC- Copper Connection (Soldered, aka Sweat Connection)
For laminar flow? For a full pipe? for a 3/4-full pipe? For a 1/2-full pipe? It all makes quite a difference. Please repost your question with a little more information. It would also help to for us to know the coefficient of friction of the inside of the pipe.
Calipers are used to measure the dimension of anarticle. In measuring a section of pipe you would use an inside caliper to give the internal diameter, and an outside caliper to give the external diameter. The difference being the thickness of the pipe wall.
Consider the volume of the pipe as the difference in the volume of two cylinders, one containing the whole pipe and the other the empty space inside. Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder : Pi*r*r*h. Find the volume of the first cylinder with the larger radius and subtract from it that of the cylinder with the smaller radius. The height (or length) is the same for both volume calculations. The result of subtracting these is the volume occupied by the 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
