Actually, the radius of a 2" pipe isn't 1". Pipe sizes are nominal sizes

and
actual inside diameters vary as to the schedule classification of the

pipe.
2" schedule 40 pipe will have the same outside diameter, but a larger

inside
diameter than 2" schedule 80 pipe and neither one of them will measure 2".
What I'm saying here is, if you require very accurate result from your
calculation, use a ruler and actually measure the pipe diameter, or go to
