The maximum flow rate through a 1.5 inch pipe is typically around 9 gallons per minute.

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 maximum flow of water through a 3-inch diameter pipe depends on various factors, including the pressure, the length of the pipe, and the fluid's viscosity. Generally, using the Hazen-Williams equation or other hydraulic calculations, a 3-inch pipe can typically carry around 600 to 1,200 gallons per minute (GPM) under optimal conditions. To determine the precise maximum flow for a specific situation, one would need to consider the exact parameters of the pipe system.
Maximum PSI rating is on the outside rating of the pipe
The maximum flow rate through a 10-inch pipe can vary based on factors such as the fluid's viscosity, pressure, and the pipe's length and roughness. However, for water at standard conditions, the flow rate can be estimated using the Hazen-Williams equation or other hydraulic calculations. Generally, a 10-inch pipe can handle approximately 1,000 to 2,000 gallons per minute (GPM), depending on the system's specific design and parameters. For precise calculations, consider consulting hydraulic engineering resources or tools.
If the flow velocity remains the same the flow volume will increase by the square of the diameter ratio.(2/1.25) = 1.6 = diameter ratio1.62 = 2.56 more flow volume through 2 inch pipe compared to 1.25 inch pipe.
The maximum flow rate for a 1 inch diameter pipe is typically around 8-12 gallons per minute. To calculate the maximum volume, you would need to multiply the flow rate by the amount of time the water is flowing.
