How does the Pipe Sizing Calculator work?

Apply Hazen-Williams or Darcy-Weisbach equations Then: Velocity typically 0.6-2.4 m/s for water systems Then: Calculate diameter and pressure drop.

Can you give an example of how to use the Pipe Sizing Calculator?

Example: Input Q = 0.05 m³/s water flow, C = 150 (PVC), L = 100 m gives a result of D ≈ 50-63 mm for <1 m/100 m drop (Hazen-Williams estimate).

Is the Pipe Sizing Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

How accurate is the Pipe Sizing Calculator?

Flow Rate (ft³/s)

Desired Velocity (ft/s)

Pipe sizing selects appropriate diameter to convey water at acceptable velocity and pressure drop. Too small causes excessive friction; too large wastes material.
