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

Формула

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

  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

Worked Examples

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

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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