| Volume per Meter | 17,671,459 cubic mm (17.671 liters) 3 |
| Gallons per Foot | 1.469 US gallons 3 |
| Liters per Meter | 17.671 liters 3 |
| Water Weight per Foot | 12.264 lbs (5.56 kg) 3 |
| Water Weight per Meter | 17.671 kg 3 |
| Cross-sectional Area | 28.27 square inches (182.4 cm²) |
| Typical Wall Thickness (Schedule 40) | 0.280 inches (7.11 mm) 7 |
| Outer Diameter (Schedule 40) | 6.625 inches (168.3 mm) 7 |
| Common Materials | PVC, HDPE, Steel, Stainless Steel |
| Common Applications | Water supply, Drainage, Sewage, Industrial processes |
| Flow Capacity (at 5 ft/s) | ~330 GPM (gallons per minute) |
To calculate the volume for a specific length:
- Determine the length of the pipe in feet or meters.
- Multiply the length by the volume per foot (339.29 in³) or per meter (17.671 L).
- For water weight, multiply the length by the weight per foot (12.264 lbs) or per meter (17.671 kg).
Remember that these values are for standard 6-inch pipes. Actual volumes may vary slightly depending on the specific pipe schedule and material used.
