| Gallons per minute through a
pipe:
GPM = 0.0408 X Pipe diameter inches2 X Feet / minute water volocity |
| Weight of water in a pipe:
Pounds water = Pipe Length in feet X Pipe diameter inches2 X 0.34 |
| Pounds per sq. inch at the bottom
of a column of water:
Height of column of water in feet X 0.434 |
| Weight of water:
1 gallon of water = 231 cubic inches = 8.333 pounds 1 pound of water = 27.7 inches 1 cubic foot of water = 7.5 gallons = 62.5 pounds ( 64.3 lbs salt water) |
