Water Discharge Table
This table is intended for general reference and general applicability only, and should not be relied upon as the sole or precise
source of information available with respect to the subject covered. The user should also refer to and follow manufacturer’s
specific instructions and recommendations with regard to such information, where they exist.
Flow of water through 100 foot lengths of hose, Straight-Smooth Bore - US gallons per minute
Figures are to be used as a guide since the hose inside diameter tolerance, the type of fittings used, and orifice
restriction all influence the actual discharge. Thus, variations plus or minus from the table may be obtained in actual service.

Water Data and Formulas
1 gallon water = 231 cubic inches = 8.333 pounds
1 pound of water = 27.7 cubic inches
1 cubic foot water = 7.5 gallons = 62.5 pounds (salt water
weighs approximately 64.3 pounds per cubic foot)
Pounds per square inch at bottom of a column of water =
height of column in feet x .434
1 miner's inch = 9 to 12 gallons per minute
Horsepower to Raise Water
If pumping liquid other than water, multiply the gallons per
minute below by the liquids specific gravity
Gallons Per Minute through a Pipe
GPM = .0408 x pipe diameter inches2 x feet/minute water
velocity
Weight of Water in a Pipe
Pounds water = pipe length feet x pipe diameter inches2x .34
Horsepower = gallons per minute x total head in feet
