Oops, a 20,000 meter long pipe, not a 20,000 foot long pipe.

20 km is approximately 65,000 feet. Three times worse than I originally thought...

Maybe they’re gonna pump up one molecule at a time...........

A 65,000’ hose @ 1/32 in. I.D. (.03125 in.) would hold 2.157+/- Imp. Gals. based on:

Radius of 0.015625 in. squared = .00024414 x Pi = .0007666 sq. in. x 65000 = 48.829 x 12 = 597.9 cu.in./277.2(cu. in./Imp.Gal.) = 2.157 Gal.

So 18 Lbs for the water itself @ 8.37 Lbs./Gal and 28,145 Lbs for the fluid column @ .433 PSIG/Ft.

I’ve never been a math guy (feel free to correct any errors), but I’ve seen hydraulic fluid get injected into a power tongs operator’s arm when a hydraulic line popped @ about 1800 PSI or so (his crew told us the PSI) when I was roughnecking. I would want to be anywhere near one of these insane contraptions.
