1. What is Pipe Volume per Foot?

Definition: This calculator estimates the internal volume of a pipe per linear foot based on its inner radius.

Purpose: It helps engineers, plumbers, and construction professionals determine fluid capacity in pipes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume per foot (cubic feet)
• \( r \) — Inner radius of pipe (feet)
• \( 1 \) — Length of 1 foot

Explanation: The formula calculates the cylindrical volume of the pipe for a 1-foot length.

3. Importance of Pipe Volume Calculation

Details: Knowing pipe volume helps in fluid capacity planning, flow rate calculations, and system design.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the inner radius of the pipe in feet. The value must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I calculate for multiple feet of pipe?
A: Multiply the result by the total length in feet (V × total_length).

Q2: What if I know the diameter instead of radius?
A: Divide diameter by 2 to get radius before entering.

Q3: Does this account for pipe thickness?
A: No, this calculates internal volume only using inner radius.

Q4: What units does this calculator use?
A: All calculations are in feet for radius and cubic feet for volume.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise for perfect cylinders. Real pipes may vary slightly.
