To calculate the capacity of a pipe you need to first calculate the area and volume. So assuming your pipe has an inside dimension (ID) of 3 inches, you would use the following equation. πR2 = area πR2xH = volume π=3.1416 Using inches as our unit R (radius) = half the diameter = 1.5 inches H (height or length of pipe) = one foot of pipe = 12 inches Gives you the volume in cubic inches 1728 cubic inches per cubic foot (12x12x12) One cubic foot = 7.48 US gallons (RxR)x3.1416x12 (1.5x1.5)x3.1416x12 = 84.82 cubic inches 84.82/1728=.049 cubic feet .049 cubic feet x 7.48 US gallons per cubic foot = 0.36652 US gallons per foot of 3" ID pipe.
What is the maximum flow rate of a two inches in diameter of a pipe in cubic meter per hour?ImprovecapitalOneround('alternateMsg');
The radius is 3 inches pi*32*height = 271.4 cubic inches Divide both sides by pi*9 to find the height: height = 9.598811457 or about 9.599 inches
You cannot convert cubic inches to inches. Cubic inches are units of volume and inches are units of length.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the pipe questions now? Alright, so a 6-inch pipe with a length of 10 feet would hold approximately 7.4 gallons of water. But like, who's measuring water in pipes these days anyway?
