Best Answer

to divide a pipe into sections measure the outside diameter then multiply by 3.142 this will give you the circumference divide this number by how many sections you require place a mark anywhere on the on the pipe then measure from that mark your answer

The best method for calculating the cross section area of a round pipe or tube is to use the following formula:

((D-W)*W)*PI

Where as D= Outside Diameter Measurement

W= Wall Thickness

PI= 3.1416

that is circumference. The answer I have is: diameter squared x .7854

Ex. 3inch pipe (inside diameter)

3 x 3 x .7854= 7.0686

What is the volume of a 30 pipe?

It depends on what you mean by a 30 pipe. Is 30 the cross sectional area - in which case, what is the length of the pipe? Is 30 the length - in which case, what is the cross-sectional area?

The velocity of a fluid decreases as the cross sectional area of a pope increases True or false?

It's not likely that any property of fluids correlates in any way with any Vatican situation. If a pipe of X cross sectional area is connected so a fluid flows at a specific velocity, and then a pipe of 2X cross sectional area is connected to the pipe of X cross sectional area, the velocity of fluid flowing in the 2X pipe will be less than what is flowing in the X pipe. In this case, what you're saying is true.


How can you calculate the unit weight of MS squre or ractangular pipe?

Cross sectional area (square metres) * 7850 = kilograms per metre length.


How much water can 4 feet or 48 inches of the pipe hold?

It depends on the cross sectional area of the pipe.


Which will carry most water 2 small pipes with a radius of 2 and 3 inches or the larger single pipe with a radius of 5 inches?

To start, we will find the cross sectional area of the pipes. Pipe with radius of 2 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 12.56 inches2 Pipe with radius of 3 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 28.26 inches2 Pipe with radius of 5 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 78.5 inches2 As the cross sectional area of the pipe with a radius of 5 inches (78.5 inches2) is greater than the sum of the cross sectional areas of the pipes with radii of 2 inches and 3 inches (40.82 inches2), it can be concluded that the pipe with a radius of 5 inches will be able to carry the most water. (Assuming that all three pipes are the same length).


What is the change in cross sectional area of a circular pipe during bending through 90 degree?

It's not supposed to change. If the cross-sectional area does change through a bend, then the pipe is said to be "kinked". The bend is regarded as poorly done, and if the kink is deep enough, the section of pipe including the bend may have to be replaced.

What is the cross sectional area of the 4 pipe?

Method to find area of a circle is: The area of a circle is its radius squared times pi. Assuming the pipe has a diameter of 4cm: radius = 2 cm Circumference = 12.5664 cm Area = 12.5664 cm2


What is the volume of pipe?

The volume of the interior of a pipe (or any circular cylinder) is the cross-sectional area multiplied by the length (volume = pi x radius x radius x length).
