Pipe diameter calculation - theory

Pipe diameter can be calculated when volumetric flow rate and velociy is known as:

where is:

  • D - pipe diameter
  • Q - volumetric flow rate
  • V - velocity

    If mass flow rate is known than diameter can be calculated as:

    where is:
  • G - mass flow rate
  • rho - fluid density view table

    If the flowing fluid is gas than the density can be calculated if pressure, temperature and gas constant is konown as:

    where is:

  • p - pressure
  • T - temperature
  • R - gas constant view table

    It is important to say that the flow rate is depending on the pressure difference between two points. This calculator is for the calcalation if you already know the flow rate. If the flow rate is to be calculated also, than you should use pressure drop calculator.
