The formula for calculating the capacity of a hole or a pipe is:

Capacity (liters/metre) = (Inside diameter in millimeters, mm)2 X 0.0007854
The annular or displacement volume can be calculated using a similar formula:
2

Capacity (litres/metre) = (OD in millimeters, mm) - (ID in millimeters, mm) X 0.0007854
