Has anyone come across an online calculator to determine how much water a specific length and width of tubing holds? Example: How much water does 10\' of 1/2 tubing hold?

Should be able to apply the volume formula for a cylinder- I will look tomorrow.  like pie r² I think is the area of a circle then maybe apply multiply by length in inches or feet but units of radius and length prolly need to be the same.

Brian has it right....... pi*r²*h.  And like he said make sure everything is in the same units.  From there you can convert volume to gallons (1 inch³ = 0.004329 gallons).  So for your example gallons = 3.14*.25²*120*0.004329 = 0.1019 gallons.  Oh yea make sure you are using the inner diameter/radius measurement.

Sounds like someone has a more recent math background:P  I had to dust some cobwebs just to pull that together.  Just keep me out of the Calc.  I will do most anything else but calc was lets just say the long way around physics.

maybe these will help.....

I admit.....I\'m an enginerd....and proud of it:D  But I also cheated and used google a couple google searches to refresh my memory:P

Impressive. 12.4 gallons in case anyone was wondering about that one too.
