Why do plumbers use copper pipes?
because the pipes don't rust as easy, and silver and gold are too expensive. That is another persons answer. Here are the main 3 reasons plumbers use copper pipes. Copper pipes are relatively non-toxic-unlike lead. Copper pipes do not suffer corrosion-as iron does. Copper pipes are relatively soft and easy to work with-unlike both iron and lead. However more and more homes are now using the plastic pipe such as Pvc and Cpvc which seems to serve the same purpose and are also safe, although both can be used, you still need to find out what code calls for in your city or town an abide by it.
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).
What is the difference between wall thickness and schedule?
There is no difference, its just a different way of saying the same thing
How do you measure water flowing through 300mm diameter pipes?
Same as you would in inches 3.14159265 and PSI have to be known
Do you have to replace the copper pipes when replacing ac unit?
no need to change the copper tube if the capacity of the unit is same.
What is a thickness planer used to make?
A thickness planer is a type of woodworking machine. This machine is used to make boards that are of the same thickness throughout the length of the board as well as being flat on both of the surfaces.
Can 2 pipe size share same heat number?
The two main pipes are plastic and metal. Plastic pipes have polyvinyl chloride and the metal pipes are either copper or stainless steel. Not all pipes have the same effective or be used the same.
Why is the thickness of the tectonic plates not the same all over?
because the thickness of the crust is different
Is width the same as thickness?
yes, it is...
Are tubes and pipes the same?
Not at all
A millimeter is about the same as?
A millimeter is about the same size and a dime's thickness.
What would be the mass of a coin of double thickness if the density remains the same?
If the density AND the diameter are the same, then the coin with double thickness has double the mass.
Does the same exhaust manifold fit a1985 720 Nissan 2.4l 4x4 and a1985 720 Nissan 2x4?
the engine is identical in both, I have owned both and saw no difference in the exaust manifold. Every Z24 engine in that date range have the same manifold, but I think the first couple of exhaust pipes past that are different in different body and 2or4WD versions, they certainly are different on the King-Cab. Then the rear pipes, muffler, etc. are the same.
Is the gap thickness of 030 the same as a dime?
No, a dime is closer to .045. But that will also depend on how old the dime is. An old dime will not have the same thickness as a new dime.
Are the pipes you use for drinking water the same as the pipes we use for bathing water?
Yes, the same pipes that supply drinking water to your sink also supply water to your bathtub, toilet, washing machine, exterior spigots, etc.
Is seamless tubes and seamless pipes are the same?
tubes means the little out diameter, pipes means the large diameter.
When measuring vinyl thickness are Gauge and Mil the same?
no
