Let's try it in REAL units!!

Volume equals length times cross section (pi x radius squared).

(lets do it in cm, as that will give us an answer in ml)

So for a 10cm diameter pipe, 1m long that's:

100cm x 3.142 x 5cm squared

=7855 cubic centimetres. Now 1000 CC = 1 litre (gotta love metric!). so one metre of 100mm pipe will hold 7.855 litres of whatever!

To find the volume of water in a pipe you need to know the diameter and the length of the pipe. The formula is pi x radius squared x the length in feet x 12 to get cubic inches didvide by 277.42 ( cubic inches in an imperial gallon ) = gallons in the pipe.

For example 4 inch diameter pipe 10 feet long holds 5.43 gallons of water.

3.14 x ( 2 x 2 ) x 10 x 12 = 1507.2 cubic inches / 277.42 = 5.43 gallons

What volume of water is there in a meter of 22mm pipe?

The volume of water in a pipe can be calculated using the formula: volume = area x length. For a 22mm pipe, the area can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: πr^2, where r is the radius (11mm). The length of the pipe in this case is 1 meter. By substituting these values into the formula, you can calculate the volume of water in the pipe.


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

The volume of a cylinder (pipe) is: pi*(r^2)h If a pipe has an 8 inch radius, then to find the volume you substitute: V = pi*(8^2)h If a pipe has a 4 inch radius, then to find the volume you substitue: V = pi*(4^2)h Thus, an eight inch pipe can carry 150.72*h more units cubed.


How many gallons of water in a 3 inch pipe?

The volume of water in a pipe depends on its length as well as its diameter. To calculate the volume of water in a 3-inch pipe, you would need to know the length of the pipe as well. Once you have that information, you could use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (πr^2h, where r is the radius of the pipe and h is the length of the pipe) to find the volume in cubic inches, which can then be converted to gallons.


How much water in a 4 inch pipe 10' long?

To calculate the volume of water in a pipe, you need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height (or length in this case) of the cylinder. In this case, the radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 2 inches. Converting the length to inches, we have h = 120 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = π(2^2)(120) = 480π cubic inches. This is approximately 1507.96 cubic inches of water in a 4-inch pipe that is 10 feet long.


Water capacity of 2 X 500' of water pipe?

Volume of a cylinder = (pi) R2 L = (pi) (10)2 (1,500 x 12) =5,654,866.8 cubic inches = 24,480 gallons (rounded)That's the volume of the section of pipe. We have no wayof knowing how much water is in it.

How can you find the volume of sand in a pipe in metric?

A pipe has the shape of a cylinder; just use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. In metric units, you have the advantage that the units are consistent. For example, if the radius and height of the cylinder are measured in decimeters, the volume will be in cubic decimeters (= liters).

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 can you find the size of a pipe by internal diameter outer diameter and length?

The internal diameter of the pipe times pi times its length will yield the volume it can contain. The outer diameter of the pipe times pi times its length will yield the volume that the pipe will displace when it is submerged or buried. The volume the pipe will displace minus the volume it will contain will yield the volume of material that makes up the pipe.
