Volume from Pump Rate and Time

The Volume from Pump Rate and Time calculator computes the volume of fluid(V) pumped based on the pump rate (vR) and the period (p) of time.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the units and enter the following:

• (vR) Pump Rate (e.g. 26 gal/min)
• (p) Period of Time.

Volume of Fluid (V): The calculator computes the volume (V) in gallons.  However this can be automatically converted to many other volume units (e.g. liters, cubic inches) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The volume of liquid that is flowing or being pumped over time can be computed if you know the flow rate and the period of time.  The formula for the Volume from Flow Rate is:

   V = vR (gallons/minute) * P (minutes)

where:

• V = Volume over time
• vR = Flow Rate
• P = Period of time

Pumping Calculators

• Volume Pumped over time by Pump Flow-rate
• Time to Pump Deadweight Tonnage: Computes time to pump an amount of oil measured by DWT at a pumping rate.   It also returns the volume pumped in barrels.
• Time to Pump Volume by Flow-rate: Computes the time to pump an amount of fluid (e.g., oil) based on a volume and pump rate.
• Duplex Pump Output: Barrels per stroke from a duplex pump.
• Triplex Pump Output: Barrels per stroke from a triplex pump.
• Quintuplex Pump Output: Barrels per stroke from a quintuplex pump.
• Barrel Production: Computes the total volume (barrels) produced over a period of time based on the production rate and duration.
• Annular Velocity: Compute the fluid flow velocity, based on the flow rate and pipe dimensions.
• Mud Buoyancy: Computes the buoyancy in mud
• Volume of a Pipe: Computes the volume of a pipe.
• Weight of Pipe Contents: Computes the weight (mass) based on density and pipe dimensions.
• Density of Oil:
  • Crude at (48° API): 790.0 kg/m³
  • Crude at (40° API): 825.0 kg/m³
  • Crude at (35.6° API): 847.0 kg/m³
  • Crude at (32.6° API): 862.0 kg/m³
• Energy in Crude Oil: 5800000.0 BTU/bbl
• Pump Efficiency
