Will three quarter inch waterline carry as much water as 2 half inch waterlines?

There are two factors which determine the flow rate of water. Diameter and velocity. Resistance is not needed for determining the size of waterlines to their respective flow rates. Resistance is a component of velocity calculated for determining several aspects such as pump hp, and loss of velocity over a distance. The formula without the resistance component is: Q=Av where: Q=Flow Rate A=Inside pipe area v=velocity Calculate: Q= (3.14XR squared)v lets assume a velocity of 10 inches per minute For 1/2 inch pipe: Q = (3.14 X 1/4" X 1/4")X10 inches per minute Q = 1.96 Cubic inches per minute For 3/4 inch pipe: Q= (3.14 X 3/8" 3/8") X10 inches per minute Q = 4.41 Cubic inches per minute So one 3/4 inch pipe will carry roughly 12% more water than two 1/2 inch pieces.

Why is the exhaust mounted to the vehicle by flexible joint?

Thermal expansion.An exhaust pipe gets up to 600 degrees or more. The coefficient of expansion of steel is 8 millionths of an inch per inch per degree. a 12 foot exhaust increasing (and decreasing) in temperature by 500 degrees will expand overall a little more than 1/2 inch. If the pipe were mounted solidly the mounting bracket would eventually break, or the pipe would break, from the strain put on it by the expansion.


What is the difference between schedule 40 and 10 gauge pipe?

The gauge of the pipe is the wall thickness. It is easier to say Schedule 40 pipe than .180 inch wall thickness. This is the SCH 40 wall thickness for a standard 12" pipe and the actual gauge thickness will vary based on pipe size and material. The larger the Schedule number, the thicker the pipe wall thickness. Pipe Schedule is also expressed in Std., X-Stg., and XX-Stg. since some thicknesses are more common than others.


What is the minimum slope permitted for 4 inch underground sewer pipe?

A slope of 1/4" in 12' is 0.0017 - inadequate for cleansing; it should be at least 0.0084 to produce a reasonable flow velocity of 2 ft/sec. The metric slope I was informed is 18mm in 1000mm Most codes require a 1/4" slope for each 12" of run.

6 inch weldolet welded to 12 inch pipe what is the inch dia involved?

The meaning of dia inch is the number of weld joints multiplied by the dia of a given pipe size, since the weld joints is on the 6" pipe, the calculations should be 1 weld x 6" = 6 dia inch.


How to reduce the diameter of pipe from 12 inch to 10 inch?

With large diameters like that you will most probably need to insert a weld-on 12 inch - 10 inch reducer at the point where the reduction is required. The pipe and reducer perimeter edges should be bevelled, say 45 degrees, for good weld penetration especially if the pipe conveys fluid under pressure.
