How to calculate GPM from Psi in PVC pipe?
Rachel Davis How to calculate GPM from Psi in PVC pipe?
The flow rate corresponding to 3.8 PSI loss to 100 feet of 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC plastic pipe is 75 GPM. Determine the pressure loss at one-half of 75 GPM, or 37.5 GPM, to confirm the approximate square-power relationship between pressure and flow.
How big of a PVC pipe do I need for GPH?
What might be “high pressure” for 1/2″ pipe (600psi) may not be “high pressure” for 2″ pipe (280psi). There are just too many variables to consider to give a real world number.
How does water flow through a GPM pipe?

What are the flow ratings for PVC pipe?
IMPORTANT: The flow ratings in the charts below are for Rigid PVC Pipe. Reduce flow by 3% (Multiply by .97) for flow going through Flexible PVC Pipe. Assume Gravity to Low Pressure. About 6f/s flow velocity, also suction side of pump Assume “High Pressure” PEAK flow.
