If you are increasing pipe size it means lower friction loss and possibly more pressure and flow if available from the supply.


If water does not flow fast enough to fill your gravity feed to the washing machine will increasing the out pipe to three quarters fix the problem?

Increasing the size of the outflow pipe will only help in cases where the outflow pipe is restricting flow. In this case, there does not appear to be any restriction resulting from the size of the outflow pipe. So your answer is: No. Suggestions are: 1) increase the inflow pressure by using a steeper grade angle 2) try using pressurized water storage tank in lieu of gravity feed 3) try increasing the size of the inflow pipe if there are any restrictions to flow on the incoming pipe

What is the relationship between flow rate and pipe size in a system?

The flow rate in a system is directly related to the size of the pipe. A larger pipe size allows for a higher flow rate, while a smaller pipe size restricts the flow rate. This is because a larger pipe provides more space for the fluid to flow through, reducing resistance and increasing the flow rate. Conversely, a smaller pipe size creates more resistance, limiting the flow rate.
