Question:

How many gallons of water is in 10 foot of 1.25 copper pipe?

How many gallons of water is in 10 foot of 1.25 copper pipe?

Answer:

Figure it out. It sounds like copper tubing so the OD is 1.25, the ID is around 1.15 inches so: (pi/4) * (1.15 inches)^2 * (120 * inches) * (1 gallon / 231 inches^3) 0.54 gallons
If the Inner diameter of the pipe is 1.25 then the correct formula to determine the volume of a cylinder would be: pi*r^2*h where r is the radius and h is the height radius 1/2 diameter 1.25/2 .625 r^2 .625*.625 .3906 multiply by pi to get the area of the top of the cylinder ** 1.227 square inches *** to get square feet you divide by 144 (12 inches in height and width) 1.227/144 .00852 square feet h 10 feet .00852 square feet * 10 feet .0852 cubic feet 1 cubic foot 7.481 gallons 7.481*.0852 .6374 gallons If the tube is 1.25 Outer Diameter the wall thickness is about .065 which gives an ID of 1.12 (you have to subtract 2 times the wall thickness) substitute 1.12 for the 1.25 in the above example and you get .5117 gallons
is it 1.25 diameter copper pipe?please clarify
