much water per foot will a 5 inch pipe hold
Chat with our AI personalities
A 5-inch pipe will hold approximately 0.36 gallons of water per linear foot. This calculation is based on the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder (V = πr^2h), where the radius (r) is half the diameter of the pipe (2.5 inches) and the height (h) is 1 foot.
If the dimensions given are in inches then:36 in x 16 in x 16 in = 9216 in39216 in3 = 39.90 US liquid gallons9216 in3 = 34.29 US solid gallons9216 in3 = 33.22 UK gallons
This pipe will hold 1,468.8 gallons of water.
The volume of a cylinder is (pi) x (radius)2 x ( length) .Radius is 1/2 of the diameter.Radius of a 3-inch pipe is 1.5 inches.1 foot = 12 inches1,000 feet = 12,000 inches1 gallon = 231 cubic inchesVolume = (pi) x (1.5)2 x (12,000) = 84,823 cubic inches = 367.2 gallons (rounded)
For a 1-inch line, there are approximately 0.01866 gallons per foot.
Assuming this pipe is straight, it is a cylinder. The area of a cylinder is pi*r*r*depth. The depth is 25 feet. 25 feet is 300 inches. The diameter is 1/2 inch, making the radius 1/4 inch. pi*1/4*1/4*300 pi*1/16*300 pi*18.75 58.9048623 1 gallon is 231 cubic inches, so 58.9048623 / 231 0.254999404 gallons.
