Pipe Velocity Calculator

Find fluid velocity from flow rate and pipe area.

Velocity 2

Formula: v = flow rate ÷ area

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Flow rate = 0.02 m³/s
3. Pipe area = 0.01
4.
5. Velocity = Flow rate / Pipe area = 0.02 / 0.01 = 2

Find how fast fluid moves through a pipe.

The math behind it

v = flow rate ÷ cross-section area.

Worked example

0.02 m³/s through 0.01 m² → 2 m/s.
