The volume of water that flows through a specific point (like a pipe) over a specified amount of time is a unit measurement known as Flow Rate.
Flomatic’s Water Velocity Calculator can be used to determine Feet Per Second (FPS) of water velocity using Flow Rate and Valve Size or Nominal Diameter of Pipe. The optimal FPS should be between 5 and 8. Flomatic’s Pipe Diameter Conversion Table can be used to easily convert between inch-based measurements and metric measurements for pipes, tubes, and valve connections.
