User Guide

This tool will calculate the flow velocity in any units from the specified volumetric flow rate 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 volumetric flow rates and flow speeds for the diameter specified.

Formula

The flow velocity formula used by this calculator is:

v = Q / (π · (ø / 2)²)

Derived from:

v = Q / 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.

Volumetric Flow Rate Measured

Enter the volumetric amount of substance that will flow pass in a unit of time.

Diameter

Enter the inside diameter of the circular pipe or duct.

Flow Velocity Calculation

This is the speed at which the substance is moving.
