Pipe capacity

Does anyone have a chart or link to a site that lists how much water is in 1' of various types of copper and black pipe?

Try this...

I don't think you need to worry about the difference between different types of pipe. 1" ID is 1" ID regardless of type of pipe, plus or minus a few thousands of an inch...

I only need to know

how much water is in a given diameter pipe, (3/4, 1, 1 1/4 ect) mainly copper. I saw the information about 2 months ago and, of course, forgot where (should have printed it and put it in the pile of information you don't need right now, but when you do, you can't find).

There is a neat little book called Pocket Ref by Thomas J. Glover
it has just about anything you want to know as far as formulas and such. For how much water is in a pipe just do volume of a cylinder Pi times radius squared times total length. One gallon of H2O=231 cubic inches=8.33 pounds@65 degrees F.

according to ziggi..

in an artical in plumbing & mechanical mag,
when you are calculating expansion size,
many times you can use half at 65 and half at
max hot temp
this is especially true for large radiant like
a snow melt system where the return is pretty cold

4.26 gal per 100ft 1\"cu pipe
