Can someone please tell me what the volume of water is, in gallons, of a
50
metre length of garden hose.

Thinking of making a heat exchanger to heat up the water in a big box with
50 metres of garden hose snaked out and under a Perspex cover

There has to be a calculation somewhere bit I don't know.

Thank you.

Mike

If a hose has an internal diameter of 13mm, then

13mm*13mm*PI *50m

= 1.3cm * 1.3cm * 3.1415 * 5000cm

= 26546 cubic cm

= 26.5 litres

= 5.8 gallons
