When it comes to water flow in pipes, determining the capacity depends on the pipe size and water pressure. Our guide provides handy tables of approximate water flow rates based on pipe size, helping you estimate capacity quickly and easily.
That said, we put together the following tables to serve as general guides for estimating a pipe's water flow capacity through a pipe or roof drain. If you have questions, please call our Drain Wizard at 000-000-0000. Water Flow (GPM/GPH) based on Pipe Size and Inside/Outside Diameters
Use the following steps and Figure D-1 to determine the size of the pipe, the velocity, and the friction loss from Point A to Point B: Step 1. Locate the number along the bottom of the chart. Step 2. Locate the flow rate in GPM demand along the left side of the chart, using the GPM demand from Step 1. Step 3.
Maximum water flow capacities in steel pipes - pipe dimensions ranging 2 - 24 inches. No single recommendation will be correct for all possible circumstances, but the table below can be used as a general guidance for water flow capacity in Steel pipes schedule 40.
Explore our Water Pipe Sizing Charts. Understand WSFU, fixture branch pipe sizes, and flow rate considerations for optimal water supply.
VELOCITY TO GPM CONVERSIONS. in standard wall pipes* Flow Velocity (ft/sec) x Factor (1 ft/sec) = GPM Typical HVAC Design Maximum Flow = 4 to 8 ft/sec. Nominal Pipe Size. GPM @ 1 ft/sec.
Determine continuous and peak flow rates in gpm A. Use the Water Supply fixture Units (WSFU) from your State Plumbing Codes and Flow RateTables on pages 6 and 7 to determine required flow rate.
These figures are charts that indicate the maximum GPM a pipe can handle based on its size and material. Locate the figure for your chosen pipe material, and find the pipe size that can accommodate your required GPM while staying within the allowable velocity limits.

Pipe Size Flow Chart. This chart is for general reference only. Consult the pipe manufacturer specifications for your pipes true flow. The maximum flow for the pipe size is indicated, to keep the velocity below five feet per second (ft/sec) maximum. GPM = (Velocity [ft/sec] x Inside Diameter (inches) / 0.4085.
