ok if i had a piece of tube 25 mm round or circumference and hrmm lets say it was a meter long how much air would fit in ?(like not being pressurized or anything, just enough to fill it up with air ) what is the math behind this ? how do i work it out?

It seems you want the volume of the tube. So if you know the inner DIAMETER of the tube, you would just find the area of the circle and then multiply by the length of the tube:

area=pi(r^2)
volume=area(length of tube)

As above, or if you're really lazy GGDT works it out automatically ;)

exactly volume of the tube is what i need .... hrmm i need to find out diameter how do i do this? by the way i want this info becuase i was told if you want a double ball valve semi auto design the secondary chamber has to have the same volume as your barrel im looking into this :D

ok i went and measured 2 tubes the first is 18 mm and the second one is 23 mm inner circumference and i would like to know how much air each could take if the were both a meter long .

How old are you? I did this in 5th grade math...

so you take the inner diameter(18mm and 23mm).
Then divide it by two(for you that is 9mm and 11.5mm)
Then square them both( thats 81 and 132.25)
Then multiply by Pi( thats 254. 34 and 415.27)
Now you have the area of your tube, just one side
Multiply this by the length and you will have the volume in mm^3.

That attitude won't bring you very far.
If you really want to use science to create "explosions whooo" you will need to do research and learn proper math.

To start off you should learn how to calculate volumes and surfaces, I'm not going to spoonfeed it, the formulas are really simple and can be found within 5 seconds on google.

i already know what goes boom im over that haha and i dont evan do science anymore and now i know how to calculate volumes and area i just need a kick start to remember

If you know how to calculate volumes and areas, then you could start learning about the use of capital letters, punctuation and paragraphs.

Immaturity is far from "zero brain activity". Your attitude is either gonna get you injured, or nowhere at all. Time for a change.
