APPENDIX C: CALCULATIONS & CONVERSIONS
CONVERSION FORMULAS
OUNCES to MILLILITERS
Formula:
Fluid Ounces x 29.6 = Milliliters
Example: 128 oz x 29.6 = 3790 milliliters
MILLILITERS to OUNCES
Formula:
Milliliters /
29.6
= Ounces
Example: 750 ml / 29.6 = 25.34 ounces
GALLONS to OUNCES
Formula:
Gallon * 128 = Ounces
Example: 1 gal * 128 = 128 ounces
OUNCES to GALLONS
Formula:
Ounces / 128 = Gallons
Example: 128 ounces / 128 = 1 Gallon
CALCULATION for AREA of PIPE VOLUME
To calculate the cross sectional area of pipe, use the following formula: Area = pi x r
2
- pi =3.14
- r = radius (
which is ½ the diameter
)
The following calculation uses a 1" diameter pipe as an example:
Calculate the cross sectional area of the pipe using the formula above:
1. divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius in inches
1" diameter / 2 =
0.5 inches
2. divide the radius by 12 to convert from inches to feet
0.5 / 12 =
0.0417 feet
3. square the radius
0.0417
2
=
.00174 sq ft
4. Multiply by pi
0.00174 x 3.14 =
.00546 sq ft
Answer
:
the area of a 1” diameter pipe is 0.00546 ft
