Which is the abundant element on the earth and how is it used for cutting and welding metals?

Hydrogen.When Hydrogen burns with oxygen (from the atmosphere or supplied directly) the heat of the flame is high and is suitable for welding and cutting metals.


What are the properties that make metals suitable for coins?

Almost any metal is suitable for coins. But from a practical point of view, metals should be fairly hard, so that the imprint doesn't fade too quickly and it shouldn't be too light since most people like their coins to have a little 'weight', certainly if a coin represents a certain value.

What are copper pipes used for?

Copper pipes are used to insulate electricity because the electrical current can not pass through the softer of all the metals. The copper pipes can be found in electrical appliances such as television tubes and computer CRT. Around the house, copper tubing can be found in the circuitry of the circuit breaker that is usually located in garage or a shed to a house or an apartment.


Which are the materials or metals used for making pipe?

Before copper and plastic pipes became available people used to use lead, iron or steel to make water pipes. Nowadays main water supply pipes for fresh water coming into buildings are made of plastic and pipes within buildings - delivering water to sinks, baths, showers and toilets - are made either of copper or plastic. Within buildings, pipes which take away waste water - which are also called drainage pipes - are usually made of plastic. Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.

Give an example of a situation in which ordinary pipes are more suitable than named pipes and an example of a situation in which named pipes are more suitable than ordinary pipes .?

Named pipes can be used to listen to requests from other processes( similar to TCP IP ports). If the calling processes are aware of the name, they can send requests to this. Unnamed pipes cannot be used for this purpose.Ordinary pipes are useful in situations where the communication needs to happen only between two specified process, known beforehand. Named pipes in such a scenario would involve too much of an overhead in such a scenario.

Why is drain cleaner a strong base?

This because a strong base dissolves a wide range of organic material with minimal damage to metals and plastics commonly used in combination with drain pipes. One could ofcourse use certain acids but this would be dissolving metals and possibly plastic used in the drain pipes. Regards.


Are no lead water pipes less quality than pipes containing lead?

Lead was used for water pipes because it is cheaper, more malleable, and more flexible, and can be welded together easily. But it should not be used for water pipes of any kind because of the risk of water contamination. Metals such as copper are more expensive but superior in performance, and modern PVC is much lighter and easier to use for drainage pipes, and for pipes not carrying great pressure.

What is a steel pipe used for?

Piping Projects is a leading Steel Pipe Manufacturers in Middle East. Steel Pipe is a metal alloy manufactured mainly from iron and other metals such as :aluminium, manganese, etc. These pipes exhibit superior strength and durability compared to traditional iron pipes. Steel pipes are the most commonly used pipes in water supply systems. They are also used in pipelines for natural gas, and sewerage systems.


Did water used to travel around in wooden pipes?

Yes, although 'pipes' might not quite be accurate. "Pipes" would seem to be something that could be made to exact specifications and interchangeable.Neither open wooden systems and hollowed out logs would really fit this idea. Copper and other nondurable metals were probably the first true 'pipes.'
