Hose Volume Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Hose Volume (HV):

\[ HV = \frac{3.14159 \times HR^2 \times HL}{281} \]

Where:

\(HV\) is the Hose Volume in gallons
\(HR\) is the Hose Radius in inches
\(HL\) is the Hose Length in inches

What is Hose Volume?

Hose volume is the measure of the total capacity inside a hose. It is often used to determine how much liquid a hose can hold or deliver. Knowing the volume is essential for applications in gardening, firefighting, and industrial processes where precise fluid delivery is necessary.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Hose Radius (\(HR\)) = 0.5 inches
Hose Length (\(HL\)) = 100 inches

Using the formula:

\[ HV = \frac{3.14159 \times 0.5^2 \times 100}{281} = \frac{3.14159 \times 0.25 \times 100}{281} = \frac{78.54}{281} = 0.28 \text{ gallons
