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.

How much water will a 2 inch pipe gravity flow?
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.
How many gallons in a 2 pipe 1 foot long?
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.
What is the maximum amount of water that can flow in a 2 inch pipe one half mile long?
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.
What is the radius of a 4 inch pipe?
The radius is half of the 4 inch diameter. Therefore, the radius is 2 inches.
What is the cross sectional area of the 4 inch pipe?
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.
What is the flow volume difference between 1.25 inch vs 2 inch pipe?
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.
What is the recommended diameter for a 2 inch drainage pipe to effectively manage water flow?
The recommended diameter for a 2-inch drainage pipe to effectively manage water flow is typically around 4 inches.
A four inch pipe carry how much more volume than a 2 inch pipe?
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.
What would the flow rate be for a 2 inch copper pipe at 95 PSI?
80 gpm
How much water will a 2 inch pipe gravity flow?
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.
Will adding a second submersible pump of the same size using a Y coupling increase the flow in a 2 inch discharge pipe with a head of 25 feet?
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.
How many gallons in a 2 pipe 1 foot long?

Can you use 1 1/2 pipe for a shower drain?
No, it is not recommended to use a 1 1/2 inch pipe for a shower drain as it may not provide sufficient drainage capacity for the water flow from a shower. It is typically recommended to use a 2 inch pipe for a shower drain to ensure proper drainage.
If i have an 1 2 inch pipe and want to cap it would i buy a 3 4 inch cap or 1 2 inch?
1/2 inch for 1/2 inch pipe.
What is the outside diameter for one half inch pipe?
1/2 inch + 2*thickness of the pipe.
How much 2 inch pipe will hold a gallon of water?
A two inch pipe can hold 0.1632 gallons per foot. It takes slightly over 6 feet of two inch pipe to hold one gallon of water.
What is the standard size of a pipe with a 1 2 inch diameter?
The standard size of a pipe with a 1/2 inch diameter is typically referred to as 1/2 inch nominal pipe size (NPS).
