How many gallons of water will a 8 inch PVC pipe 10 feet long hold?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of water a cylindrical pipe can hold, you use the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. First, convert the diameter of the pipe to the radius by dividing by 2: 8 inches / 2 = 4 inches. Convert the radius to feet: 4 inches / 12 = 0.33 feet. Now, calculate the volume: V = π(0.33)^2(10) ≈ 3.45 cubic feet. Finally, convert cubic feet to gallons: 1 cubic foot is approximately 7.48 gallons, so the pipe will hold about 25.8 gallons of water.

Answer 2

To calculate the volume of water a pipe can hold, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h. For an 8-inch diameter PVC pipe that is 10 feet long, the radius would be 4 inches (half of the diameter). Converting the measurements to the same units (inches), the volume would be approximately 2480 cubic inches. Converting this to gallons (1 gallon = 231 cubic inches) gives us approximately 10.7 gallons.

Answer 3

Area = diameter x 2" X .7854 2 x 2 x .7854=3.1416 Volumn square inches = Area x Length 3.1416 x 120"=376.99 liquid in gallons = square inches / 231=1.63 gallons There is 231 sq" in a gallon The volume of a right circular cylinder, V, is V=πr2h. The radius, r, is half the diameter, 1 inch or (1/12) foot and the height, h, is 10 feet, so V=π(1/12ft)2(10ft)=π(1/144)ft2(10ft)=0.218ft3. 1ft3=7.481 gal (0.218ft3)(7.481gal/ft3)=1.63 gal

Answer 4

Assuming that all measurements are for the inside of the pipe:

Calculate the volume of the cylinder made by the pipe that is 8 inches by 10 feet, or 8 inches by 120 inches.

Volume of Cylinder = pi x radius(squared) x length

For this example 8 refers to the diameter of the pipe so divide it in half to get the radius, then use the formula.


Volume of Pipe = 3.14159265 x 4^2 x 120

= 3.14159265 x 16 x 120

= 6031.85789

The only thing that remains is to convert cubic inches to gallons. Since a gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches dividing cubic inches by 231 will produce a result in gallons.


Gallons in Pipe = 6031.85789 / 231

= 26.1119389

There are about 26.1 gallons in an 8 inch pipe that is 10 feet long.

Answer 5

the answer is 4.079 Gallons.

Radius x Radius x Pi = area in square inches of the pipe.

area x length = volume in cubic inches.

There are 231 cubic inches per gallon.

Therefore 5 x 5 X 3.141592654 = 78.53981634 square inches.

78.53981634 x 12 = 942.4777961 cubic inches.

942.4777961 divided by 231 = 4.079990459 gallons

Answer 6

A 12-in x 2 inch (id) piece of pipe has a volume of 37.6992 cu in. 1 gal of water = 231 cu in. The 2 inch (id) pipe will hold 0.1632 gal per ft

Answer 7

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

V = π(1)² x 120

V = 3.14159 x 120

V = 377 in³

1 gallon = 231 in³

377 ÷ 231 = 1.632 gallons

Answer 8

0.218 cubic feet.

Answer 9

Volume is 3.672 gallons of water.

Answer 10

2.5 gallons of water.
