Volume Of Coiled Pipe

Volume Of Coiled Pipe

Volume Of Coiled Pipe

(OP)
Good morning.

I have what I think is a relatively simple question, but an hour last night and then again this morning of searching has not yielded an answer for me.

I need to know the volume of a coil of pipe within a vessel.

I have approximated it by taking the center line diameter of the coil, finding the circumference of a circle of that diameter. Then multiplying that circumfrence by the number of coils and adding the total height of the coil to it. Then multiplying that by the cross sectional area of the pipe.

Is there a more accurate means of estimating this volume? I would imagine it has to take pipe diameter, number of turns, and total height of coils into consideration.
