Water Delivery Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of water delivered based on flow rate and time duration.
Purpose: It helps hydraulic engineers, plumbers, and water system designers determine water delivery volumes for various applications.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The flow rate is multiplied by time to determine the total volume of water delivered during that period.
Details: Accurate volume calculations are essential for water system design, irrigation planning, and industrial processes that require precise water delivery.
Tips: Enter the flow rate in cubic meters per second and the time duration in seconds. All values must be > 0.
Q1: Can I use different units?
A: Yes, but you'll need to convert all values to consistent units (m³/s and seconds) before calculation.
Q2: What's a typical flow rate for household plumbing?
A: Standard household faucets typically have flow rates between 0.0001 to 0.0003 m³/s (0.1-0.3 L/s).
Q3: How do I calculate for longer time periods?
A: For hours, multiply by 3600 (seconds in an hour). For days, multiply by 86400 (seconds in a day).
Q4: Does this account for pressure changes?
A: No, this assumes constant flow rate. For variable flow, you'd need to integrate over time.
Q5: Can this be used for other liquids?
A: Yes, the formula works for any liquid, though the results will be in volume, not mass.
