How to Use the Calculator
This calculator helps you solve pipe and cistern problems by calculating the time it takes to fill or empty a tank using multiple pipes.
Steps:
- Enter the total capacity of the tank in liters
- Specify the initial water level in the tank
- Add or remove pipes as needed
- For each pipe, enter:
- Flow rate (liters per hour)
- Whether the pipe is filling or emptying the tank
- Click "Calculate" to get your result
Formula Used:
Time = (Target Volume - Initial Volume) ÷ Net Flow Rate
Where Net Flow Rate = Sum of all filling pipe rates - Sum of all emptying pipe rates
