Depends how accurate you need to be but "Mears" make calculators, a circular slide rule that will tell you this. all you need is the pipe size the material and the length. These are used by heating engineers, they can also give you flow rates etc.
Hope this helps

Measure the internal diameter of the pipe as well as the length. The volume of the pipe can then be calculated as follows:-
Using the diameter, the internal circle will be 3.141 * diameter.
Multiply the answer by the length and there's your volume.
As to how much the pipe will hold, this depends on the strength of the pipe and the density of the filling.
Depending on it's length and wall thickness, a drinking straw would be able to hold more cola than mercury

Cover the bottom with something airtight and water proof, then pour in liquid until its full up to the brim of the other side, then pour that water into a graduated cylinder and look how much water there was. That's by far the simplest solution. Afterrall, its hard to get an accurate reading of things like the inside diameter of a pipe, especially one that is not perfect or straight.

The pipe has these pertinent dimensions: inside diameter of the pipe, and total length of the pipe (that you propose to fill with liquid).
Use this volume formula for your cylinder-pipe:
pi times ((inside diameter/s)^2) times length
Make sure all length units are the same; if you use inches, then you can divide the answer by 231 (the # of cubic inches -- approximately -- per gallon of liquid) and get the gallon volume of your pipe in question. Otherwise your answer is going to be in cubic units of whatever you used to measure the pipe length and inside diameter.

I assume, that you want to calculate the liquid quantity when the liquid is in stagnant condition in the pipe
formula you can apply is (3.14 x (ID) x (ID)/ 4 ) x L
where ID : Internal diameter of the pipe
L :Length of the pipe
Internal diameter can get from any standard piping hand book for diff rent sch of pipes.

For your own sake,-- Don't go to sea.
You have bought a pump and don't know what size pipe you need?
Don't worry it has an outlet thread so choose a pipe of that size.
You want to buy a pump?
You know how much you want to shift and in what time and how high. Take your requirements along to the supplier and he will sell you one.

I'm no mathematician but i do know a good rule of thumb. Take the diameter squared and divide by 1029.4 and then x the length in feet. Eg. 24inch diameter pipe
24"sq2 \ 1029.4 = 0.56 bbls\ft or 23.5 gals per ft

A hole in the space suit to be repaired is PI R Squared. (pi times radius times radius)
This is the area of a circle.
The volume of the pipe is the area multiplied by the length of the pipe.

You need to measure pipe diameter ( so u can work out cross sectional area) and length. Multiply length by CSA and you have volume of liquid.....

You want to use the equation for finding volume in a cylinder which is:
V = (pi) * r^2 * h (pi times r squared times height)
r is the inner radius of the pipe and h will be the length of pipe.
If you measure in inches then your result will be cubin inches, cm......cubic centimeters.
