How much will a 6 inch pipe carry?

It depends on the length of the pipe.


Can washer drain pipe be one inch draining into one and a half inch?

Yes, if the joint between the 2 width of pipes is made to be tightly closed so that no leakage would occur. The best would be to use a connector with a 1 inch diameter at one end and a diameter of 1.5 inches at the other end. Or maybe, if the 2 pipes are vertical, to put the 1 inch pipe into the 1.5 inches pipe and seal the 2 pipes with a good amount of resistant tape so that the water will go straight from one pipe to the other with no leakage. But with hot water draining from the washer, even with the cold water, the tape solution is probably just a temporary solution, because the tape would break down after some time.


Which will carry the most water two pipes one with a 3 Cm radius and the other with a 4 Cm radius or one pipe with a 5 Cm radius?

assuming that the pipes are all the same length, then you can work it out as follows: The pipes are cylindrical, and the volume of a cylinder is equal to pi multiplied by the square of it's radius multiplied by the length of the pipe - or: v = πr2h we can compare the two then by saying the volume of our two smaller pipes is: v = πr12h + πr22h r1 = 3 and r2 = 4, therefore v = π32h + π42h v = π9h + π16h v = π25h and then we can say that the volume of our biggest pipe is: v = πr2h r = 5, therefore v = π52h v = π25h therefore, the two small pipes carry the same amount as the large pipe


Which will carry most water 2 small pipes with a radius of 2 and 3 inches or the larger single pipe with a radius of 5 inches?

To start, we will find the cross sectional area of the pipes. Pipe with radius of 2 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 12.56 inches2 Pipe with radius of 3 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 28.26 inches2 Pipe with radius of 5 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 78.5 inches2 As the cross sectional area of the pipe with a radius of 5 inches (78.5 inches2) is greater than the sum of the cross sectional areas of the pipes with radii of 2 inches and 3 inches (40.82 inches2), it can be concluded that the pipe with a radius of 5 inches will be able to carry the most water. (Assuming that all three pipes are the same length).

How does a soil pipe and a waste pipe differ?

Soil pipes and waste pipes differ in their purpose and the type of waste they handle. A soil pipe is designed to carry human waste and toilet paper from toilets to the sewer system or septic tank. A waste pipe, on the other hand, is designed to carry other types of waste, such as water from sinks, showers, and washing machines. Waste pipes can also carry food waste and other debris from garbage disposals. Additionally, waste pipes are typically smaller in diameter than soil pipes.


How many 0.50 inch diameter pipe will fit into one 1.50 inch diameter pipe?

Three 0.50 inch diameter pipes will fit into one 1.50 inch diameter pipe (hypothetically). The 0.50 inch diameters stack on top of each other until you have 1.50 inches!

An 8 inch pipe carry how much more volume than 4 inch pipe?

The volume of a pipe is proportional to the square of its diameter. Since the diameter of the 8-inch pipe is twice that of the 4-inch pipe, the 8-inch pipe can carry four times the volume of the 4-inch pipe.


Will two 1.5-inch PVC pipes into a 2-inch PVC pipe flow as much water as 2-inch PVC into your pool pump and what would be the max gpm the pump could draw and would you need three 1.5-inch pipes?

I'm no pool expert but I can do the basic maths. I'd presume the limiting factor on how much water will pass through a pipe is its cross sectional area, and that these are circular pipes. If so, the area of a 1.5 inch diameter pipe is pi x .75 x .75, and of a 2inch diameter pipe is pi x 1 x 1 . So two of the smaller pipes will have a combined area of 1.125pi sq. inches, more than the single bigger pipe at 1pi sq. inches. Two 1.5" pipes into a single 2" line is acceptable for your flow rates. The flow rate will depend more on your pump than the two 1.5" diameter lines. You could add a third, or even more lines and individually isolate them with ball valves so you can adjust the flow from each as per the requirements of the pool.
