Calculator path
- 1 Expansion tank calculator Primary page for the main search intent.
- 2 Estimate pipe volume Supporting formula or reference page.
- 3 Pipe pressure drop calculator Darcy-Weisbach loss, head and velocity from flow and pipe ID.
- 4 Pipe size by flow velocity pick a first-pass pipe ID from flow and target velocity.
- 5 Pump flow and HP calculator pump displacement, pressure, flow, kW and horsepower.
Expansion volume
Ve = Vs * e
Acceptance factor
AF = 1 - P_fill_abs / P_work_abs
Selected-tank check
utilization = required_acceptance / selected_acceptance
