Was wondering if anyone knew a formula to calculate the gallons per foot for pipe. I have a bored well and was trying to figure out how much water was in the well. Its a 30" casing and i have 12' of water available.Thanks for the help..

Reply:There's roughly 7 1/2 gallons per cu ft. I make the volume of the pipe at 4.9cf/ linear ft of pipe, so 59cf of water. So roughly 441 gallons if my math is right after a long day.Edit: fixed my math. Last edited by DSW; 06-20-2011 at 07:21 PM..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Thanks for the answers , not as much water available as i was thinking.
Reply:you have to consider the well will also be replenishing itself at a certain rate as well so while you only have x amount available at the present time the well will be topping itself up constantly._______________________OF COURSE I DON'T LOOK BUSY... I DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

Reply:The math is simpler for imperial (British) gallons. 1 cubic foot is 6.25 gallons |
