We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

I assume the bore is the inner diameter of the pipe. I'd express it as 0.4 m just to have a single unit.

If a straight run, it is an (empty) internal cyclinder of diameter 0.4 m, length 350 m.

volume of a cylinder is (pi/4)*(d^2)*h = 43.982 m^3 approximately or 43,982 L.

Turns, T's, bends, etc would be more complex, but I'd just use an average length.
