First you need the size of the pipe and the volume of water supply. Pressure will vary during usage. Standard well system operates between 20-40 psi and city systems operate from 50-70 psi.
The flow rate of water through a 2-inch pipe at 100 psi can be estimated using hydraulic calculations. Generally, a 2-inch pipe can flow around 40-50 gallons per minute (GPM) at that pressure, depending on factors like pipe length, fittings, and friction loss. For precise calculations, it's best to use the Hazen-Williams equation or consult flow tables specific to the pipe material and conditions.
To determine the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) through an 8-inch pipe at 5 psi, you can use the Hazen-Williams equation or empirical formulas for flow in pipes. However, a rough estimate would suggest that at 5 psi, the flow rate would be approximately 600-700 GPM, depending on factors like pipe length, roughness, and fittings. For more accurate calculations, specific hydraulic calculations should be performed.
The flow rate of water through a 0.75-inch pipe at 40 psi can be estimated using the Hazen-Williams equation or similar formulas, which consider factors like pipe diameter, pressure, and water temperature. For a 0.75-inch schedule 40 PVC pipe, the flow rate at 40 psi is typically around 10 to 15 gallons per minute (GPM). However, specific flow rates can vary based on factors such as pipe length, fittings, and the condition of the pipe. It's best to consult detailed hydraulic tables or conduct measurements for precise calculations.
The flow rate of water through 1-inch PEX at 40 psi can vary based on factors like the length of the pipe and the presence of fittings or bends. However, a rough estimate for flow rate under these conditions is around 20 to 30 gallons per minute (gpm). For a more accurate measurement, one would typically refer to flow rate charts or perform calculations considering specific system characteristics.

To find the maximum flow you would need to know the maximum pressure. A typical fire nozzle pressure would be up to 100 psi with a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches. The GPM would be between 300 GPM and 460 GPM through the nozzle. If it were simply a 3-inch pipe with an oversized pump, running at 100 psi with no nozzle, you could (in theory) move over 3,000 GPM through the pipe (ignoring friction loss). Even at 80 psi, a master stream through a 2-inch nozzle moves over 1,000 GPM.

The standard formula to calculate flow(GPM - gallons per minute) from a CIRCULAR orifice is:29.7 * (the square root of the pressure) * (the square of the diameter of the flow orifice)EXAMPLE using 3/4" Pex Pipe(actual I.D. of 3/4 PEX Pipe is .677") and 40 PSI pressure:29.7 * 6.325(sq. root of 40) * .458(the square of the I.D. 3/4" pipe) =A GPM of 86.03Note: You also need to account for fittings in the loss calculations; while minimal several fitting will make a difference.
What schedule piping as schedule 40 fittings are rated for 125# thus your 140 PSI would be really dangerous to try on standard fittings
You need to know the PSI (pounds per square inch) and GPM (gallons per minute). PSI * GPM = cleaning power.
It depends on flow. 2 PSI for 500 GPM 8 PSI for 1000 GPM 18 PSI for 1500 GPM 32 PSI for 2000 GPM This is per 100' ft If your flows are big, ie. defensive conditions, you must relay for anything over a couple hundred feet in length. Capt. Ridgeway Tumwater Fire
The time it takes to flow 300 gallons through a 1 inch pipe at 55 psi depends on the flow rate of the pipe. You would need to know the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) of the 1 inch pipe to calculate the time it takes. Without the flow rate, it is not possible to determine the exact time it will take.
