The Pipe Volume calculator                                Section of Pipe   computes the volume of a pipe (V), based on the interior diameter(d) of circular conduit or pipe and the length (l) of the pipe. 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (D) Inner Pipe Diameter.
• (L) Pipe Length.

Volume of Pipe (V):  The calculator returns the volume in gallons.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The equation for the volume of a pipe is:

V= π⋅(D/2)²⋅L

where:

• V = interior volume of a section of pipe
• D = inner diameter
• L = length of pipe
