Frequently asked questions

Use π × (inner diameter ÷ 2)² × length. A 0.1 m bore over 10 m holds about 78.5 litres.

Use the inner diameter, since that is the space the fluid actually fills.

Exactly 1,000 litres, which is why the volume is multiplied by 1,000 for litres.

It helps size pumps, estimate flushing water, and work out how much fluid a system holds.
