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)

$$ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{V}_{-} \mathrm{c}=\left(0.7854 * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{o}}^{2} * \mathrm{~L}\right) / 808.5 \\ V_{c}=\frac{0.7854 * D_{o}^{2} * L}{808.5} \end{gathered} $$
