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 way

of knowing how much water is in it.

The water capacity of two 500' water pipes will depend on the pipe diameter. Typically, water pipe capacity is measured in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute. The larger the diameter of the pipe, the higher the water capacity it can handle.

It would take 82.2857 gallons of water to fill a 2 inch pipe 504 feet long. The volume of the pipe is 19,008 cubic inches and there are 231 cubic inches of water in a gallon.

I assume you mean 2" pipe and the pipe is 2" Inner Diameter.

Area of Cylinder = 2*Pi*r*l, Pi=3.14159265

so A = 2 * Pi * 1/12 * 500 ~= 261.8 cubic feet or 1958.4 gallons

The capacity (volume) of that section of pipe is 188.5 cubic inches, which is

about 0.816 gallon. We have no way of knowing how much water is in it.
