excellent-wanted to make sure everybody understood what u had said prior re this

and assuming all other things being equal:

Flow rate is directly proportional to the pressure gradient and the fourth power of the radius of the pipe.
Applying Poiseuille's Law

Even when turbulence is a factor, you can still use Poiseuille's equation to get a reasonably accurate idea of the how flow rate changes with pipe diameter. Keep in mind that the stated size of a pipe is a measure of its diameter, and you need the radius to apply Poiseuille's law. The radius is half the diameter.

Suppose you have a length of 2-inch water pipe, and you want to know how much the flow rate will increase if you replace it with 6-inch pipe. That's a change in radius of 2 inches. Assume the length of the pipe and the pressure are constant. The temperature of the water should also be constant, because the viscosity of water increases as the temperature decreases. If all these conditions are met, the flow rate will change by a factor of 24, or 16.
