For calculating c:b's, of course diameter works equally well...but I'm for offering him the real volume calculation. Many of these questioneers are young enough to never have calculated the volume of a cylinder in their lives. Why not make it a complete learning moment? and avoid possible confusion and future errors.jimmy101 wrote:Starman, actually you don't have to use the pipe radius for the CB calculation, diameters work fine. You do have to use either both radiuses or both diameters and the calculation must involve the ratio of the two volumes, as it does in a CB calculation.
Learn the short-cuts after you know the fundamentals...reasonable?
