User Guide
This tool will calculate the volumetric flow rate in any units from the specified velocity of a substance flowing through a round duct or pipe of a chosen diameter. For each new calculation a unique conversion scale will be generated for the range of flow speeds and volumetric flow rates for the diameter specified.
Formula
The volumetric flow rate formulae used by this calculator is:
Q = v · π · (ø / 2)²
Derived from:
Q = v · A
A = π · r²
r = ø / 2
Symbols
- Q = Volume flow rate
- v = Flow velocity
- A = Cross-sectional area
- r = Radius
- ø = Diameter
n.b. This formula assumes uniform flow conditions within the entire cross-sectional area of pipe, without any friction losses near to surfaces.
Flow Velocity Measured
Enter the speed at which the substance is moving.
Diameter
Enter the inside diameter of the circular pipe or duct.
Volumetric Flow Rate Calculation
This is the volumetric amount of substance that will flow pass in a unit of time.
