I need to know the water volume of my outdoor wood furnace as I am anticipating a switch to antifreeze. I know what the stove holds but not lines to and from the house.

Can anyone steer me to a formula: 100 hose x 3/4 i.d.?

Thanks, Warren................

Area of a circle (3.1415 * radius^2) * length in inches. Result is cubic inches of volume. Convert to gallons and you're good to go.

I come up with:

4.079987 gallons

15.4 liters

Math .5^2*3.14159=0.7853975 square inches x 100 feet x 12 inches per foot
= 942.477 cubic inches/ 231 cubic inches per gallon= 4.079987 gallons

0.5" Isn't the radius of the i.d.

The radius of the i.d. is 0.375.

Therefore π × .375"² × 1200" = 530.14C.I. = 2.295 Gal = 8.687 L

Multiply the volume of the 3/4" by 2/3 to get the answer for 1/2".

There are volume calcuators on the web that can be found via google.

[(.7854*d²)*L]/231

d is the diameter in inches
L is the length in inches
.7854 is a constant (pi/4)
231 is the number of cubic inches in a US gallon

If you want litres, use 61 instead of 231

A = pi * r^2 thus it is not linear.

Or, multiply by (2/3)^2 = 4/9 to step 3/4" down to 1/2".
