This spreadsheet calculates the time required to purge pipes or tubes of different diameters based on the specified volume changes and flow rate. It provides purge times in seconds and minutes per foot for various pipe sizes ranging from 0.5 to 36 inches in diameter, based on 5 volume changes at a flow rate of 25 cubic feet per hour. The calculations are not affected by whether pipe diameter is specified as nominal pipe size or inner diameter.

Pipe and Tube Purge Times
This spreadsheet calculates time for various pipe or tube sizes based on the flow rate and volume changes specified
Use of pipe diameter as either NPS or ID is inconsequential
and does not affect the efficacy of the calculations
Volume Changes: 5 Flow Rate CFH: 25
Inside Diameter Purge time (s) Purge Time (min) Seconds Minutes or NPS Seconds/foot Minutes/foot per 10 ft. (s) per 10 ft. (min.)
Basis: seconds will it take to purge 1 foot of pipe using 5 volume changes at 50 CFH sec/ft= 5 * π * radius^2 (in^2) *(ft^3/1728 in^3)*(3600 s/hr)*(hr/50ft^3)*12 in/ft
5 X pi X radius^2 X 3600 X 12 reduces to 5 X pi X radius^2 X 3600
