    Pipe Size and GPM Chart

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Sayeeduddin
    Steel or copper piping is typically sized to result in a friction loss of around 2 feet of water per 100 feet of pipe and a velocity of 7 feet per second or less. A chart indicates the general flow in gallons per minute that common pipe sizes can handle, ranging from up to 1.5 GPM for a half-inch pipe to 701-1200 GPM for an eight-inch pipe.

    WATER FLOW THROUGH

    STEEL OR COPPER PIPE


    Steel or copper piping is generally sized for water flow that will result in a friction
    loss of approximately 2 feet of water per 100 feet of pipe length and a velocity of
    7 feet per second or less.

    This chart indicates the flow in GPM that a pipe size can generally handle:

    Pipe Size GPM


    ½" Up to 1.5
    ¾" 2 - 3.5
    1" 4-7
    1 ¼" 8 - 14
    1 ½" 15 - 22
    2" 23 - 40
    2 ½" 41 - 70
    3" 71 - 120
    4" 121 - 250
    5" 251 - 450
    6" 451 - 700
    8" 701 - 1200
