Why is there a sch 40 and a sch40s for pipes when both are the same wall thickness?
Schedule 40 (Sch 40) and Schedule 40S (Sch 40S) pipes are both designed for different applications. Sch 40 pipes are typically used in standard applications with a thicker wall, while Sch 40S refers to a specific designation for stainless steel pipes, which may have different tolerances and manufacturing standards. The "S" indicates "stainless," and Sch 40S pipes may have varied properties suited for higher pressure or corrosive environments. Thus, while they share similar wall thicknesses, their material and intended use differ.

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 psi of a 2 inch by 60 inch pipe and a 1 inch by 60 inch pipe both vertical?
To determine the pressure (psi) exerted by a vertical column of fluid in pipes, we can use the hydrostatic pressure formula: ( P = \rho g h ), where ( P ) is pressure, ( \rho ) is the fluid density (typically water, 62.4 lb/ft³), ( g ) is acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s²), and ( h ) is the height of the fluid column in feet. Since both pipes are vertical and of the same height (60 inches or 5 feet), the pressure at the bottom of each pipe will be the same if filled with the same fluid. However, the diameter of the pipe does not affect the psi at the bottom; it only affects the flow rate and volume. Therefore, both pipes will exert the same pressure at their bases regardless of their diameters, assuming they contain the same fluid.
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
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.
Are tubes and pipes the same?
Not at all
Is width the same as thickness?
yes, it is...
Why is the thickness of the tectonic plates not the same all over?
because the thickness of the crust is different
A millimeter is about the same as?
A millimeter is about the same size and a dime's thickness.
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.
What is the difference between ASME B36.10M and B36.10 pipes?
ASME B36.10M is the metric version of the standard that specifies the dimensions and tolerances for welded and seamless wrought steel pipes, while ASME B36.10 refers to the same standard in inch units. Essentially, B36.10M provides the same information but in metric measurements, making it more suitable for regions or applications that utilize the metric system. Both standards cover the same types of pipes but cater to different measurement preferences.
Is thickness and density the same?
No, thickness and density are not the same. Thickness refers to the distance between two opposite sides of an object or material, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. In other words, thickness is a linear measurement, while density is a mass/volume measurement.
