another stupid CI question

Can anyone tell me how to calculate the number of gallons of water in a pipe?

How about determining the CI of a pipe?

Thanks.
If I could figure this kind of stuff on my own I'd have a real job.

    I don't know, it's been 31 years since I used a Water Pipe.

    Area of a circle: To calculate the area of a circle, the formula is: pi x radius2 (pi = 3.1416). So, if you want to know the area of a circle with a 22-foot diameter - which would be an 11-foot radius - the calculation would be: (3.1416 x 11 x 11 = 380.13 square feet).
    Circumference of a circle: To calculate the circumference of the same circle - the total distance around it - use the formula: pi x diameter: (3.1416 x 22 = 69.12 feet).

    Somehow I knew that was going to happen, just not that quick.

    Pir2 x(length in inches) / (number of square inches in a gallon)=gallons in the pipe.

    Lots of math questions today. Volume inside a pipe is "area" of pipe x length.

    Area of a circle = (Pi)x(r2)

    Where:

    Pi=(3.141592)
    r2= the radius of the I.D. of the pipe, squared.

    Formula: Volume = (Pi)x(r2)x(L)

    Do it all in inches and the result will be in cubic inches (In3).

    Then convert to gallons. There are 231 In3 in a gallon.

    Do it all in feet and the result will be in cubic feet (Ft3).

    Then convert to gallons. There are .133681 Ft3 in a gallon or 7.48052 gallons in a Ft3

    Good luck.

    Pie are square? I don't think so....Pie are round, cornbread are square.

    Thanks for the smile muley, that was funny.
    Someone should just give him an example, I kind of lost it on that one too. An example with a piece of 1/2" pipe, or maybe 2" pipe, say 15' long, do the formula again, then apply it, thats how I have to be taught, I isnt much smart doin the maths.

    O.K. Ryan - just for you, but take notes...

    Pipe 10" diameter 48" long

    Volume = (Pi)x(r2)x(length)

    Volume = (3.141592)x(5 x 5)x(48") or
    (3.141592)x(25)x(48) = 3,769.91 In3

    (3,769.91 In3)/(231 In3/Gallon) = 16.32 gallons

    Notes:
    Radius is half of diameter = 5"
    5 squared = 5 x 5 = 25

    Hope this is easy enough!

    And how's things going. You still up north East? Ken
