Calculation result

Enter the values; results update automatically.

Assumes a completely full circular pipe with a constant inside diameter. Excludes the volume of bends, valves, fittings and partially filled sections.

How to use

Enter the actual pipe inside diameter in mm and length in metres. Use the inside diameter, not the nominal or outside diameter.

Example calculation

A full pipe with an inside diameter of 100 mm and a length of 10 m holds approximately 78.54 litres.

Calculation method

V[L] = π(d / 1000)²ℓ × 1000 / 4 (d: mm; ℓ: m)

Calculation limits

Assumes a completely full circular pipe with a constant inside diameter. Excludes the volume of bends, valves, fittings and partially filled sections.
