Question from Sid: What is the estimated volume of scale (Liters) if you have a 12 inch ID pipe, 300 feet long with scale 1/2 inch thick. Please show me the method and formula. Thank you for your assistance. |
Hi Sid,
You can use our volume calculator, just follow the link to Volume calculator on the Quandaries and Queries page.
First find the volume of the pipe without scale, so that's a 300 foot length and a diameter of 12 inches. Next find the volume pipe now with the scale, so that's a 300 foot length and a diameter of 11 inches. The difference is the volume of the scale.
