There are way too many variables to answer this.
what's the head pressure?
how long is the run?
any 90 or 45 degree bends?
what type pipe?
Pipe has friction , the longer the run the more pressure that is needed to get the same flow, same with bends in the pipe or fittings.
For Swimming Pools we normally figure we can flow 60 gpm with 2 inch pipe.
but again there are things to consider.
The answer will depend on whether it is a 2 inch pipe or a 2 cm pipe or a 2 foot pipe or whatever.The answer will depend on whether it is a 2 inch pipe or a 2 cm pipe or a 2 foot pipe or whatever.The answer will depend on whether it is a 2 inch pipe or a 2 cm pipe or a 2 foot pipe or whatever.The answer will depend on whether it is a 2 inch pipe or a 2 cm pipe or a 2 foot pipe or whatever.
Depends on many factors, such as smoothness of pipe, hydrostatic head, etc. But you can expect anywhere from 50 gal/min to 150 gal/min.
Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.
The radius is half of the 4 inch diameter. Therefore, the radius is 2 inches.
The cross-sectional area of a pipe can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the pipe. Since the diameter of the pipe is given as 4 inches, the radius would be half of the diameter, so r = 2 inches. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(2)^2 = 4π square inches. Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the 4-inch pipe is 4π square inches.
If the flow velocity remains the same the flow volume will increase by the square of the diameter ratio.(2/1.25) = 1.6 = diameter ratio1.62 = 2.56 more flow volume through 2 inch pipe compared to 1.25 inch pipe.
The recommended diameter for a 2-inch drainage pipe to effectively manage water flow is typically around 4 inches.
The flow rate of water through a 2-inch pipe at 100 psi can be estimated using hydraulic calculations. Generally, a 2-inch pipe can flow around 40-50 gallons per minute (GPM) at that pressure, depending on factors like pipe length, fittings, and friction loss. For precise calculations, it's best to use the Hazen-Williams equation or consult flow tables specific to the pipe material and conditions.
It is based on the flow area, which is proportional to the square of the diameter. 2 squared = 4. 4 squared = 16. So, the 4 inch pipe can take 16/4 = 4 times the volume of the 2 inch pipe. It might be less confusing if you had picked sizes other than 2 and 4. This is a rough calculation, since pipe inside diameters are not the same as nominal sizes, but close enough for most purposes.
Yes, you can flow 120 gallons per minute (gpm) through a 2-inch pipe, but it depends on various factors such as the length of the pipe, the type of fluid, and the allowable pressure drop. A 2-inch pipe has the capacity to handle this flow rate, but if the length is significant or there are many fittings, you may experience increased friction loss, which could impact the flow. Proper calculations using the Hazen-Williams equation or similar methods can help determine if the system can sustain that flow rate effectively.

The 2" pipe will only handle so much water and no more. Even an 8 horse power pump will not increase the flow in a 2" pipe. 2" plumbing has only a certain capacity and no more.
Yes, a single 4-inch pipe can carry more volume than two 2-inch pipes. The cross-sectional area of a 4-inch pipe is significantly larger, allowing it to transport more fluid. Specifically, the area of a 4-inch pipe is approximately 12.57 square inches, while the combined area of two 2-inch pipes is about 6.28 square inches. Therefore, the 4-inch pipe will have a higher flow capacity.
The flow rate of water through a 2-inch pipe at 40 psi depends on various factors, including the pipe's length, roughness, and any fittings or bends. However, a rough estimate using the Hazen-Williams equation suggests that approximately 1,200 to 1,900 gallons per minute could flow through a 2-inch pipe under those conditions. For a precise calculation, specific details about the pipe system would be necessary.
Two 18-inch pipes do not have the same capacity as one 36-inch pipe because the flow capacity of a pipe is determined by its cross-sectional area. The area of a circular pipe is calculated using the formula (A = \pi r^2). An 18-inch pipe has a radius of 9 inches, giving it an area of approximately 254.47 square inches each. In contrast, a 36-inch pipe has a radius of 18 inches, resulting in a much larger area of about 1017.88 square inches, meaning the 36-inch pipe can carry significantly more flow than the two 18-inch pipes combined.
