Re: REAL math, just for FUN
I started with 6" around to be the circumference

2(pi)r = 6
(Pi)r =3
r = 3/(pi)

Area = (pi) [3/(pi)]^2

Now I have the area in square inches. Multiply by length...

If I were playing with paper and pencil or my NSpire/TI-89 I'd convert to metric to make the conversion to weight easier.

I do a lot of math too.

Yeah, I though I was clear enough, 6” pipe meant a 6” diameter pipe.

Most of my math is at work, and is in the .001/inch range. I’m a machinist, and for me .001 is a lot...

Re: REAL math, just for FUN
Since you said "pipe" then we'd have to know what schedule to come up with the correct answer. The most common range of pipe is Sch 5 to Sch 80, 6" Sch 5 pipe is 6.407 ID, 6" Sch 80 pipe is 5.761 ID.

6" Sch 5 Pipe, 30' long would hold 417 lbs of water

6" Sch 80 Pipe, 30' long would hold 337 lbs of water

Almost 100 lbs difference ;)

Just messin' with ya' OP!

peace

You must be a REAL man. I assume you have no man-bun and no hipster non-prescription glasses....

Sch 80 is good stuff, so good I don’t see why they even make anything else. Anyways....

I was specific though, I said “ 6” round on the inside”.

Good catch though, man.

Re: REAL math, just for FUN
Cubic inches in US gallon = 231

Find volume of pipe....

Radius X Radius X Pi = 28.26 square inches
Length of pipe into inches = 360 Inches
Volume of pipe = 10,173.6 cubic inches

Pipe volume / gallon volume = 44.04 gallons

Gallon of water weight = 8.34 pounds

Total weight of volume of water = 367.30lbs.


The answer at work was 350lbs.
 Quoting: Mr. Poopy Butthole


Fail. You didnt include the weight of the pipe.

Re: REAL math, just for FUN
Now do that with a warped pipe that is stretched and contorted in places and compressed and bulged in others. 1st step would probably be not use that pipe. Otherwise you need calc and lots of measurements.

Re: REAL math, just for FUN
Depends on what planet you’re on.

Dumbass should of queried mass.

Sounds like a pipe for OTEC = that would be cool (literally)

7.5 gallons in a cubic foot is a hint, and H2O weighs 1lb/pnt.
