How much water does a 10 foot long 1/2 inch copper pipe hold??

Assuming that it is the internal diameter that is 0.5 inches, then the radius is half of that. Some people forgot that vital fact!
23.56cubic inches

Water piping is sized for the demand and available pressure. If you have a 6 bathroom monster house a half-mile away from the street, 1" would be pretty lite. If you have a fairly 'average' house with average water pressure, it's probably fine. I've never run anything smaller than 1" into a house. 3/4" might be ok in some cases, but the cost difference in materials is negligible and the labor is about the same. I would not try to repair a galvanized water service. It's got to be in the neighborhood of 50 years old. It's done. If you repair the leak, you'll likely just get another one soon. And take a look inside the old galvanized when it's removed. It's sure to be clogged with 50 years of rust.

15/2 times Pi cubic inches

volume of a cylinder = [the cross-sectional area (Pi times radius squared)] x [the height/length]
so (0.25x0.25x Pi) x (120) = 23.5619 cubic inches.
sorry I forgot that the diameter is 1/2 in. but the radius would be 1/4 in.

copper pipe ? or did you mean tubing? wall thickness is differant between pipe and tubing. if it is a pipe we need to know wall thickness. as pipe is measuer by OD tubing is ID so there fore it be truley .500 inch internal. so maybe you answer this and we can help you more
