Maximum allowable water velocity is generally kept as 3m/sec. But we have seen higher velocities also work.

How do you find out water velocity in pipe?

Hello, Velocity in a pipe is the flow divided by the area. If the pipe is full, the area is simply pi*r². Here is a useful calulator for full pipes: http://www.tasonline.co.za/toolbox/pipe/velocity.htm

How do you find the velocity of water if you know only the pressure and the size of the pipe?

It's lacking the temperature of water to calculate its velocity having the pressure and the diameter of the pipe. The temperature of water also counts on this equation. The equation is valid for fresh water, if the density of the water is higher compared to the fresh water, the result will vary, too. It is lacking also the inner condition of the pipe. Smooth or rough. The pipe must be placed horizontally, 0º degree of inclination. The pipe must be fully straight, too.
