How many gallons would a pipe 1500 feet long and 2.5 inches in diameter hold?

31.18 gallons and if it is fresh water it will weigh 265 pounds NOT including the pipe and if this pipe is vertical it would exert a hydrostatic pressure of 651 PSI and a force of 3,193

Force is the weight of the water plus the static pressure exerted at the base fitting tis is why you need a globe type of valve on a fire stand pipe system to equalize the pressure during a shut down of the OS

and Y valve
