Stepping down the size of the pipe into a smaller one in fact WILL NOT GIVE MORE PRESSURE! The smaller the size of the pipe, the less water it can carry, and ultimatley distribute. So when you have multiple sprinkler heads, the feed lines are usually ran in 3/4 and the branch lines stepped down. Also the same with household cold water is always roughed in in 3/4 and stubbed out in 1/2. That's also why the city has a huge main feed and your house has only usually a 1"

What is the equation for water flow in construction?
the velocity of water flow within a drainage pipe; the equation is V=L/t L= Length t=time. Then the flow rate; Fr=A*V, Where A= sectional area and V = velocity.
Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe?
it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
What condition is needed for the continuous flow of water in a pipe?
Negative pressure
Why does water flow up a hill in the pipe?
It wont unless its pressurized or under vaccuum.
3 Bar and 1 inch pipe how much is water flow rate?
4324
How much water flows through an 8in pipe?
That depends on the pressure behind the flow, and on the length of time the flow is allowed to continue.
What type of flow will maximize the outlet temperature of a flow of water inside a pipe for a given length and diameter?
Turbulent flow can increase a temp. to some extent
What condition is necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
What condition necessary for the sustained flow of water in a pipe?
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
Will water flow out of a pipe if the pipe is covered with water?
Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.

The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
What is the maximum volume of water which can flow in a 1 inch diameter pipe?
It takes 24.50985 feet of 1 inch pipe to hold one gallon of water. Jeff Payne jpayne@texwipe.com
What happens with speed when gases flow from a large pipe to a small one?
Depends on the pipe and the length but mostly the pressure stays the same but the flow will increase more speed.
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
How do you calculate water flowing out of pipe which is having a diameter of 4 inches and pressure of 4 bar?
You'll need the length of the pipe, because that's where the flow resistance is. At the outlet end, the pressure is atmospheric.
