a pipeline Where is the surface roughness of the pipe for commercial steel pipes).
The flow velocity in the pipeline can be converted to flow rate by
multiplying it by the cross section are of the pipe, the density of
water (7.481 gal/ft3), and factor (60 s/min). Thus q has units of
(gal/min). The inside diameters (D) of nominal 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-inch
schedule 40 commercial steel pipes can be obtained from Perry’s
Handbook.
