How it works
Velocity = flow in m³/s ÷ circular internal area.
Input definitions
- Volumetric flow (L/s)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Internal diameter (mm)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
A worked example
- Volumetric flow (L/s)
- 10
- Internal diameter (mm)
- 80

Common questions
Does velocity determine pressure loss?
No. Length, roughness, fittings, density and viscosity are also needed.
How does Pipe flow speed from diameter calculate the result?
Velocity = flow in m³/s ÷ circular internal area.
What should I verify before using Pipe flow speed from diameter?
