The flow in gallons per minute is given in the following table for different sizes of standard pipe and for different heights of the water jets. Table 3. Flow in gallons per minute for different sizes of standard pipe and for different heights of the water jets.
For other pipe sizes and heights of jets. Use the formulae: Gal.

A cubic foot of water equals: Approximately gallons per minute gpm. Approximately 1 acre-inch per hour. Similarly, how does pipe size affect flow rate? Well, it follows the cross-sectional area of the pipe , and area is varies as the square of the diameter. So we know flow rate decreases with an increase in diameter , and we know that the decrease varies as the square of the diameter. In other words, the flow rate is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter.
For example, the heart of a resting adult pumps blood at a rate of 5. With a radius, for instance, of 0. Multiply this answer by the pressure drop across the pipe , measured in pascals. With a pressure drop, for instance, of 80, pascals, 0.
Multiply the constant pi by the answer to Step 1: 3. Bernoulli's theorem says that there should be a reduction in pressure when the area is reduced. The narrower the pipe , the higher the velocity and the greater the pressure drop. The equation of continuity states that for an incompressible fluid flowing in a tube of varying cross-section, the mass flow rate is the same everywhere in the tube. The equation of continuity can be reduced to: Generally, the density stays constant and then it's simply the flow rate Av that is constant.
The equation for pipe diameter is the square root of 4 times the flow rate divided by pi times velocity. For example, given a flow rate of 1, inches per second and a velocity of 40 cubic inches per second, the diameter would be the square root of times 4 divided by 3.
You should see the same water pressure on both sides of the bigger section of pipe. The water will flow more slowly in the bigger pipe , but the pressure will increase Bernoulli's law, the same thing that makes an airplane wing fly, but applied to fluid dynamics. There is a general rule that says flow through a pipe should be no more than 8 to 10 linear feet per second. For water conservation purposes, the Federal Energy Policy Act of requires that all lavatory bathroom faucets sold in the U.
According to the same law, showerheads may have a maximum flow rate of 2. Liquids move in pipes due to differences in pressure. The water again flows upward because the pressure in your mouth is now greater than atmospheric pressure. Since the piping contains 1. To measure the flow rate of your system you can: Use a Flow Meter: This is a simple device which can measure the amount of fluid passing through it. Attach this to your discharge pipe, as close as possible to your pump and it should give you a reliable reading of your flow rate.
Measure each height from the center of the pipe.
