Pipe Volume Reckoner

Summate the volume of a pipage given its inner diameter and length. The calculator will also find how much that volume of water weighs.

How to Find the Volume of a Pipe

The volume of fluid in a piping can be found given the inner bore of the pipage and the length. To estimate pipage volume, use the following formula:

book = π × d2 4 × h

Thus, the volume of a pipe is equal to pi times the piping diameter d squared over four, times the length of the piping h.

This formula is derived from the cylinder volume formula, which can also be used if you know the radius of the pipage.

volume = π × r2 × h

Alternate formula to find pipe volume using radius

Discover the bore and length of the pipe in inches or millimeters. Employ our anxiety and inches reckoner to summate a length in inches or millimeters.

If you're unsure what the inner bore of a pipe is but you know the outer diameter refer to the mutual pipage dimensions tables to detect the most likely inner bore of your pipage.

Enter the length and diameter values into the formula higher up to summate the book of the pipe.

Example: calculate the volume of a 2″ diameter pipe that is 50′ long

length = 50′ × 12 = 600″
book = π × 2two 4 × 600″
volume = 3.1415 × 4 4 × 600″
book = iii.1415 × 1 × 600″
book = 1885 in3
