1. What is a Liquid Mass in Pipe Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the mass of liquid inside a fully filled pipe using its inner diameter, length, and liquid density.

Purpose: Useful for engineering applications like plumbing, fluid transport, and storage tank design.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

Volume is calculated as:

\[ \text{Volume (m³)} = \pi \times \left(\frac{\text{Inner Diameter (m)}}{2}\right)^2 \times \text{Length (m)} \]

Mass is calculated as:

\[ \text{Mass (kg)} = \text{Volume (m³)} \times \text{Density (kg/m³)} \]

Unit conversions:

Diameter/Length: mm (×0.001), cm (×0.01), m (direct), in (×0.0254), ft (×0.3048)
Density: kg/m³ (direct), g/cm³ (×1000), lb/ft³ (×16.0185)
Volume: cm³ (×10⁶), dm³ (×1000), m³ (direct), cu in (×61,023.7), cu ft (×35.3147), cu yd (×1.30795), ml (×10⁶), l (×1000)
Mass: kg (direct), g (×1000), lb (×2.20462)

Explanation: Inputs are converted to meters and kg/m³, volume is computed, then mass is calculated and converted to other units.

3. Importance of Liquid Mass Calculation

Details: Knowing the mass of liquid in a pipe is essential for load analysis, pressure calculations, and system design.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter inner diameter (mm, cm, m, in, ft), length (mm, cm, m, in, ft), and liquid density (kg/m³, g/cm³, lb/ft³; all >0). Results include volume (cm³, dm³, m³, cu in, cu ft, cu yd, ml, l) and mass (kg, g, lb).
