Note that for most pipes nominal size is not equal to inside diameter.
1 2 pipe capacity.
Water flow gpm gph based on pipe size and inside outside diameters.
Thus the volume of a pipe is equal to pi times the pipe diameter d squared over 4 times the length of the pipe h.
The volume of fluid in a pipe can be found given the inner diameter of the pipe and the length.
1 gal us ft 12 4 liter m.
Pipe volume π radius length where radius inner diameter 2.
That said we put together the following tables to serve as general guides for estimating a pipe s water flow capacity.

Liquid mass volume liquid density.
The mass of the liquid is taken from the transformed density formula.
To estimate pipe volume use the following formula.
For exact volumes check the pipe documentation or standard and use the calculator below.

Nominal refers to pipe in non specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non dimensional number for example 2 inch nominal steel pipe consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2 375 inch 60 3 mm outside diameter.
