About:
The volumetric flow rate is calculated with a formula Q=A*v where A is the area of the opening perpendicular to the pipe. (if you cut the pipe at 45 degrees the computation becomes a bit more complex but doesnt vary much unless you have really high flow rates) and v is the velocity of the (uncompressible) fluid moving through the pipe.
pi*r2 calculates the area of a circle, where r is the radius of the circle.
pi*32 = 28.27in2 or 182.39cm2
so if the water flows at 2 feet per second (1.36 miles per hour) you'll have
28.27*24 = 678.48in3/sec = 2.94 Gallons per second. (231 cubic inches per gallon)
or 11.13 litres/sec. (at v=.610m/sec)
Speed up the flow rate and you'll get more water per second.
In reality you need to consider other factors, like whats the pipe made of, can it tolerate high velocity/high pressure, and are you pumping into an ever increasing load (eg. into the bottom of a tank that gets more and more full)

Two times the diameter of the supply pipe, but never less than 1 inch.
How do you find the water inlet when your house is on a slab?
ANSWER: If you havs a faucet on the front side of the house, directly below it should be a water inlet pipe and shut off valve. Its not always 100% there, but a really good place to start digging. The valve is usually in a 4 inch PVC pipe sticking above the ground, but can be easily covered up. Dig carefully as not to break the inlet pipe and expose the shut off valve at the meter incase you break it.

How many cubic inches of water are in a 1 inch pipe one foot long?
A 1-foot length of a pipe with an 1-inch internal diameter will hold pi*r2*h cubic inches where r = 0.5, h = 12 So 9.42 cubic inches.
What is the volume of 1 meter of 6 inch pipe?
The volume of this pipe is 1,113 cubic inches or 0.644 cubic feet.
How many cubic inches in pipe 100 inches long with 1 inch radius?
Volume = pi*r2*h = pi*12*100 = 314.159 cubic inches.
Volume of 12 in by 12 in pipe?
The volume of a 12 inch x 12 inch pipe is: 1,360 cubic inches
How many gallons in a 6 inch pipe 10 foot long?
First calculate the cubic inches, then convert to gallons. Volume=pir2h=3.1416x32X120=3393 cubic inches 3393 cubic inchesx0.00433 gallons/cubic inch=14.7 gallons
How many cubic yards are in a 24 inch diameter pipe 10 feet long?
Not enough info to determine an answer. "Cubic inches" is a measurement of Volume with 3 dimensions. A "24 inch Pipe" can mean either a Length of 24 inches or a Diameter of 24 inches. To calculate a Volume of a pipe, you need the Diameter (or Radius) and the Length.
