That depends on what information is provided. If you don't have any information, you may actually need to measure the speed of the water; or you may want to measure the flow (for example, in liters per second), and the pipe diameter, and then calculate the speed from that.

How do you calculate volume of water in a pipe?

measure the radius of the pipe. (half the diameter - the width of the pipe) then measure the length of the pipe. then use the formula pi (3.14) x radius2 x length. the answer is the volume in the pipe

How do you calculate the volume of water in a pipe?

You need to know the radius (1/2 the inside diameter) and the length of the pipe. Then, you use this formula to calculate the volume:Pi (3.1416) x r2 x length


What happens to speed of water in a pipe if the diameter of the pipe is decreased?

Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.


What is the maximum amount of water that can flow in a 2 inch pipe one half mile long?

Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.


What can change water current?

Assuming you mean water in a pipe, the speed of the moving water can be changed by changing the pressure, the force pushing the water. It can also be changed by changing the characteristics of the pipe (larger, smoother inner walls, etc.)
