Units in flow rate calculator: You may enter numbers in any units, so long as you are consistent. (L) means that the variable has units of length (e.g. meters). (L3/T) means that the variable has units of cubic length per time (e.g. m3/s).

Flow rate equation: Q = VA. If circular, then A = π D2 / 4

The flow rate calculation does not check for unreasonable inputs such as negative values. All values should be entered as positive.
