ONE FORMULA, ONE ANSWER

Volume Flow Rate Calculator

Check flow through a pipe or ventilation opening using its cross-sectional area. Choose input units and calculate one value within the stated conditions.

Inputs

Greater than zero after conversion to SI

Negative, zero or positive

Calculations run in this browser. Scientific notation such as 1.2e-3 is supported. Do not group thousands.

Result

Volume flow rate Q

Enter values and select Calculate.

FORMULA

Q = A V

Assumptions

Use A>0 and the cross-sectional mean normal velocity. A point measurement of maximum speed is not a mean velocity. Selecting L/min changes only the display unit of the same flow rate.

Displayed values are floating-point approximations. Measurement uncertainty and design safety factors are not calculated.
