To convert BTUs (British Thermal Units) into pipe sizes, you first need to determine the flow rate of the fluid in gallons per minute (GPM) that corresponds to the heat load in BTUs. This can be calculated using the formula: BTUs = GPM × ΔT × 500, where ΔT is the temperature difference in degrees Fahrenheit. Once you have the flow rate, you can reference hydraulic charts or tables that correlate GPM to pipe sizes, taking into account factors like fluid type and pipe material. It's essential to ensure that the selected pipe size can handle the required flow and pressure drop efficiently.
Schedule in pipe is relevant to NPS (National Pipe Sizes) and refers to the wall thickness of pipe. 20 is thin wall, 40 is strong and 80 is extra. (There are other sizes, these are just examples.)

A pipe joint is commonly referred to as a "fitting." Fittings are used to connect, terminate, or change the direction of pipes in various plumbing and piping systems. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as elbows, tees, and couplings, depending on the specific application.
You would have to get the larger sizes cuppler with a reducer to the smaller size and then join it together
normally thickness will be 3mm. but it defer in sizes
.75 inch
If you are working with pipes and unsure of the pipe sizes, carry a vernier caliper with you to check pipe sizes, it also fits in your pocket for easy transport
They come in different sizes.

1 BTU is required to raise 1lb of water 1 degree F in 1 hour. 212-75=137 degrees 600 lbs water x 137 degrees= 82,200 BTU's required to change 75 degree water to 212 degree water. To change 212 degree water to 212 degree steam it requires 970 btu's (latent heat of vaporization) per lb of water 970 btu x 600 lbs water = 582,000 btu Answer - 582,000 btu+ 82,200 btu = 664,200 btu's
only if the new pipe is bigger in which case all pipe leading up too it must also be of sufficient BTU rating. So.... No. You'll most likely have to get a new gas line run to your house or a lot of meter work done. maybe meter would have to be replaced to allow height total btu capability.
Air conditioners come in different sizes. For a portable air condition for a small area, you'll probably want 12,000 BTU or higher. The larger the space you want to cool, the more BTU's you should have.

The number of appliances that can run on a half-inch pipe depends on various factors, including the type of appliances, their BTU (British Thermal Unit) ratings, and the total length of the pipe run. Generally, a half-inch gas pipe can support multiple appliances, but it's crucial to calculate the total BTU load to ensure it does not exceed the pipe's capacity. For accurate planning, consulting local codes and a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure safety and compliance.
An 800 square foot area need a 15,000 BTU air conditioner to properly cool. Properly sizes the AC unit ensures that the unit will not be overworked.
