you are welcome Aaron, I hope it is correct, I kinda pulled it out of the thin Kansas early morning air. If it is correct, 50 psi would be 6 gallons, and you would be leaking 1.2 GPM.

The plumber is telling me that it's not a leak in the underground but in the lead-in connections for individual office containers. Got 20 individual containers outfitted for office and living quarters. There's aboveground PE pipe and where they connect he says that's the area of leaks. Dropping about 50 psi from 200 psi over 5 mins. Trying to figure out how many gpm need to leak for a 50 psi drop. Sent from my iPhone Aaron M.

I can get the total volume of water in the pipe but can't seem to find a formula to help with finding the volume loss. > > Sent from my iPhone > Aaron M.
