How many cubic inches are in 12 inches of 6 inch pipe?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

To find the volume of a pipe, you can use the formula: Volume = π * radius^2 * length. Given the pipe has a radius of 3 inches (diameter of 6 inches), the volume of 12 inches of this pipe would be approximately 339.29 cubic inches.

Answer 3

you cannot have 12 inches of a 6 inch pie silly!!!(think about it)

Answer 4

There is no real solution. 6 inch to a metre is a scale which may (or may not) be appropriate to a plan.

Answer 5

Six inches is 0.1524 meters.

Answer 6

0.15 m
