The internal capacity of a pipe is pi x internal radius x internal radius x length of pipe where pi = 3.142 This is the volume of a cylinder; pipe capacity is usually amount of flow per unit of time under given conditions of internal roughness, and viscosity of the flowing fluid with a given pressure loss per length unit. Q = DELTA PRESSURE * PI*( DIAMETER TO FOURTH POWER)/ (128 * VISCOSITY* LENGTH) VISCOSITY OFWATER IS ABOUT 2X1O TO -5 POWER LB SECOND/FT SQUARED NOTE PRESSURE MUST BE BELOW AMOUNT THAT RUPTURES THE PIPE.

depends on the units your pipe is measured in.

If in feet:

(radius_of_pipe)*(radius_of_pipe)*(3.14)*(length_of_pipe)*7.48

if in inches:

(radius_of_pipe)*(radius_of_pipe)*(3.14)*(length_of_pipe)*7.48*12*12*12

if in meters:

(radius_of_pipe)*(radius_of_pipe)*(3.14)*(length_of_pipe)*264.17

Work out the internal area of the circle that forms the end of the pipe and multiply this area by the length of the pipe. this will give you the volume of the cylinder which is the inside of the pipe. If you do this using centimeter units you answer will come out in cubic centimeters. You than then convert this into gallons. [1 cubic centimeter = 0.00026417205236 gallon [US, liquid]]

Capacity of pipe?

In order to calculate the internal capacity of a pipe use the formula pi x internal radius x internal radius x length of pipe where pi = 3. 142. This is the volume of a cylinder; pipe capacity is usually amount of flow per unit of time under given conditions of internal roughness, and viscosity of the flowing fluid with a given pressure loss per length unit
