Formula 4.17
Close-ended displacement volume of pipe
Input(s)
$D_{o}$: Outside Diameter of Pipe (in.)
L: Length of Pipe $(\mathrm{ft})$
Output(s)
$V_{c}$: Close-ended Diameter of Pipe (bbl)
Formula(s)
$$ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{V}_{-} \mathrm{c}=\left(0.7854 * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{o}}^{2} * \mathrm{~L}\right) / 808.5 \\ V_{c}=\frac{0.7854 * D_{o}^{2} * L}{808.5} \end{gathered} $$
