A pipe velocity calculator is used to calculate the velocity of water in a pipe. Based on water flow rate requirements, we can calculate the pipe size.
Why keeping water velocity is important?
- Pressure losses due to friction.
- water hammer effect.
- Pipe movement due to water momentum changes inside the pipe.

Pipe velocity calculator formula
V = Velocity
Q = Water Flowrate
D = Pipe Inside diameter
V= Q*353.6/D2 and V = Q*0.409/D2
