What is Id versus od size in copper fittings?
id means inside diameter, od means outside diameter, copper pipe and tubing is measured by the od, therefore the od the pipe or tubing will be the same as the id of the fitting
What is the difference between a mandrel bender and a pipe bender?
The first difference is actually pipe vs tubing. Pipe is measured at the inside diameter or ID vs tubing being measured at the outside diameter or OD. Dies for bending pipe and tubing are different because of the different measurements. A mandrel is pulled through tubing or pipe to keep the inner diameter constant.
What is flow rate for copper pipe?
1/2 OD or ID as copper is measured by OD BUT in plumbing rather then saying 5/8 L tubing we say 1/2 BUT 1/2 in ACR work is actually plumbers 3/8 The flow rate is about 7.5 to 10gpm Plenty for up to 3 low flow shower heads.
What is CTS OD?
Copper Tubing Size, Outside Diameter controlled. - How copper and PEX tubing size is specified based on the outside diameter. Common sizes are 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch. This contrasts to pipe sizing which is based on the inside diameter.
How do you find cylinder ID when the OD is known?
There is no corelation between a cylinders ID to OD.
What is the technical difference between tube and pipe?
The primary difference between pipe and tubing is how the size is designated. Pipe is designated by a "Nominal Pipe Size" based upon the ID (inside diameter) of the most common wall thickness. Tubing is designated by the measured OD (outside diameter). For Example: A 3/4 inch iron pipe has an OD of 1.050 inches, while a 3/4 inch steel tube has an OD of 0.75 inches. The Copper industry calls all cooper tubular products "Tubes" but they designate a "Type". Each type has specified OD and ID dimensions The size of a tube is determined by it's OD and the thickness. The actual OD of a tube is just the same as it's nominal OD. A certain size of a tube will keep the same OD no mater what the thickness is. It is true for pipe except that the actual OD is larger than it's nominal OD. For example, for a 1" schedule 5s pipe, the actual OD is 1.315", the thickness is 0.065" and the ID is 1.185". When it's thickness is schedule xxs (0.358"), then it's ID is reduced to 0.599" while keeping it's OD. Furthermore, the actual OD of a pipe is just the same as it's nominal OD when the size is the same as or larger than 14" per ASME/ANSI B36.10/19 . Consequently, both the size of tube and pipe is measured by it's OD and the thickness. Actually tube is used when we need to transfer heat from its walls and we want this to be happen while in pipes we try to stop the heat transfer such as we use tubes in boilers because we make steam we need to transfer the heat while when we transport steam we use pipes because we wana save heat energy. 2: pipe can be thick according to formula d/t >10 while tube will must thin according to this formula. The Real Difference: Sorry to say; wrong! Pipe and tube is ever so simple. Pipes are used to transport something, and tubes to construct something; hence, tubes are defined by the od "outside diamater" and wt "wall thickness" (for construction stability), and pipes id inside diamater to allow a calculation for transportation viz., speed, volumes etc. (od = id + 2 * wt).
Is a pipe size id or od?
pipe is measured up 12 inchs I.D. inside 12 and above are measured by O.D.if you measure 10" pipe you measure it from inside..12" and above measure from outside diametor
Can you put copper piping to galvanized piping?
Yes, this happens quite often in older houses, copper pipe can be threaded; thus one can join them and there are several fittings that can be utilized.On the other hand, copper tubing (K, L, M, and DWV) can be joined depending on which of the following application method is used:For copper tubing to galvanized water supply, one would use a dielectric nipple or union to prevent electrolytic action from taking place or dezincification of the galvanizing pipe.If these lines are for waste or venting, the Mission Rubber Company LLC has various types of couplings that can go from tubing OD to pipe OD without the dangers of mixing ferrous and nonferrous metals .For copper tubing to IPS you can solder, braze a male adapter and use the dielectric union, use a copper x galvanized dielectric union, or copper by female adapter and a dielectric nipple .If your connecting to a Durham system and the galvanized pipe has a Tucker coupling or a Kennedy tee wye, then you can use lead and oakum without the fear of mixing dissimilar metals as the lead is nonferrous metal but has no adverse effect with galvanized or copper pipes.
How can you get the weight for steel pipe?
assuming it's hollow. 10.68*ID*(OD-ID)
How do you calculate total weight of copper cylinder?
You determine the volume of the cylinder by taking the area of the cross section and multiplying it by the length, and then multiplying that into the density of copper. Make sure the units match, for example if measured in inches and you want pounds, you may have to convert the densityif given in the metric system, or if you measured in inches and find a density in cubic feet you will have to do the appropriate conversion.
How can you calculate the ID of a pipe?
Can you calculate the ID of a pipe when you have the OD to be 10.75" and the wall thickness to be 0.5"Depends on what you know about it. If you have the outer diameter and you know the wall thickness, then ID = OD-2 x wall thickness
Do 3 inch tubing and 3 inch pipe have the same outside diameter?
Yes OD never change
