Pipe Sizing Calculator helps contractors and tradespeople accurately size, spec, and estimate materials and systems.

Fórmula

Min Diameter = √(4Q / π × V) where Q=flow, V=max velocity

Guia passo a passo

  1. 1Determine required flow rate, select acceptable velocity, solve for diameter
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Exemplos resolvidos

Entrada
50 GPM flow, 6 fps max velocity
Resultado
D = √(4×0.111/(π×6)) = 0.154 ft = 1.85 inches → use 2 inch

Erros comuns a evitar

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
