The Flow Rate through the pipe can be calculated when the following values are known:

  • Pipe internal roughness
  • Pipe internal diameter
  • Pipe length
  • Pipe elevation change
  • Fittings
  • Pressure Loss


The Flow Rate can be calculated for both Liquids and Gases.  For information about selecting a fluid, see: Fluids Database

For more information about working with gases, see: Working with Compressible Fluids
