Pipe size example

How much water through a 15 mm pipe?

A 15 mm pipe can carry a useful domestic flow if the velocity stays in a reasonable range.

Quick estimate

Using a typical 1.5 m/s velocity

Example build-up

Internal diameter: 15 mm. Velocity: 1.5 m/s.

Estimated flow is about 15.9 L/min, or 0.95 m3/h.
