💧 Fluid Mechanics

Pipe Diameter Calculator

Calculate pipe diameter from flow rate and average velocity.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Flow rate (m³/s); Velocity (m/s). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The fluid-mechanics result is derived from the flow, pressure, density, viscosity, geometry, elevation, or efficiency values entered. Check SI units, whether pressure is absolute or gauge, the assumed flow regime, and whether losses or local fittings are included.

When to use it

Use this for preliminary fluid-flow analysis or equipment sizing. Validate assumptions and manufacturer data before using the result for a real pump, pipe, or safety-critical system.
