size of pipe to make 5 gallon tank?

  • Docar posted: 11 May at 8:43 pm

    A = 0.785 di^2
    A= cross sectional area di=inside diameter
    A gallon is approximately 231^3

    A 12″ pipe has a cross sectional area of 113^2
    231/113=2″ long

    A 6″ pipe has a cross sectional area of 28.26^2
    231^3/28.26^2=8.174″ long

    Other pipe dimensions can be worked out by these formulas.

    Why not purchase a tank?

    I know you can spend $50 to $70 on ‘replacement’ tanks, similar to those used on “DR” equipment, or boats… but you can also find them for much less…

    This one for example, is a 6.5 gallon portable, for about $20….you could even take it off the splitter to go fill it up, without having to move the splitter.

    Good Luck

    12″ diameter pipe, 10″ long will give you 5 gallons of capacity.

    An 8″ pipe needs to be 23″ long to give you 5 gallons…

    a 6″ pipe needs to be 41″ long;

    15″ pipe needs to be only 6.5″ long;

    18″ pipe, 4.5″ high or long, depending on how you set it up;

    24″ dia., 2.5″ high;

    if you are paying by the pound, then the cheapest tank will the same length as diameter…in this case the 12″ pipe is the cheapest to make a 5 gallon capacity.
