(OP)
how do you measure/calculate for flow rate of water in a pipe? assuming you know its pressure and the pipe diameter? thanks.

RE: measuring flow rate in a pipe
To actually measure it would require some sort of flow element like an orifice plate or a rotameter, or there are non-intrusive methods like clamp on ultrasonic devices.
Provided its a non-critical line and since its just water (assuming its not sour water, waste water, really high pressure or some other kind of nasty stream) you could also just disconnect it and use the "calibrated bucket" and stopwatch method.

With all due respect, do you have a chemical engineering degree?
