PVC Pipe Water Volume & Weight Calculator
by Titus Nelson, PE
Inventor of the Holey-Moley Digger
Use the following Calculator to determine the volume of a standard PVC pipe, determine how much water it will hold, and its weight. The output is in (cubic inches) and (cubic feet). In addition the volume is shown in gallons as well as its total weight when filled with water. The input values for pipe diameter are for standard available pipe diameters.
PVC cache tubes are perfect for holding water. With a simple O-Ring cap and sealed cap, the new container will hold water for a lengthly period of time. The calculator below is especially relevant and easy to use for designing a making an emergency water container. Just input the diameter and length of the pipe and you will know exactly how much water it will hold.
Try it out. Input 6 inches for the pipe diameter and 24 inches for the length. You can make this from our Survival Cache Tube Kit offered in kit form. You will see that pipe section alone will hold 2.86 gallons. Not too shabby for a quick grab and go container.
