When replacing 80 ft of old steel pipe which is fed from half inch pipe with copper is there any reason to use 3.4 inch pipe instead?

That's 3/4" pipe, not 3.4" prehaps it would deliver more pressure through the 1/2 inch pipe than 3/4 inch. 3/4" pipe will be less restrictive over the course of the run. Otherwise, no. 1/2" Copper Pipe will do fine, since it has a smoother bore, less restrictive, no lime and rust build-up. The only reason for you to use 3/4" pipe is if you want more volume. The pressure remains the same.


Will electricity run thru brass?

Yes, electricity can run through brass because it is a conductive alloy primarily made of copper and zinc. The presence of copper in brass allows it to conduct electrical current, though it is not as conductive as pure copper. Brass is often used in electrical applications where corrosion resistance is also a factor. However, for optimal conductivity, materials like copper or aluminum are typically preferred.


Where is helium mined?

Helium was first found as a by product in natural gas in gas fields in northern Texas in the beginning of the 20th century. For over 40 years the United States held a monopoly on Helium extraction through it's plant outside of Amarillo Texas run by the United States Navy and the Department of the Interior.


What element does a star run out of that causes them to die?

A star dies when it runs out of fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in its core. This fuel is mainly hydrogen, which gets converted into helium through nuclear fusion. Once the star runs out of hydrogen, it will expand and eventually collapse, leading to its death in a supernova explosion.


How can you identify a stars age?

The size and color, at sometime, it will get too old and blow up, like a nova or supernova. A young star is mostly hydrogen, undergoing nuclear fusion to form helium. As the star gets older, it has steadily more helium. Eventually, when it begins to run out of hydrogen, the helium will undergo fusion to form progressively heavier elements. By looking at the light from the star through a spectroscope, you can see markers that indicate the proportion of different elements, allowing you to estimate the star's age.

Is it illegal to run gas through copper?

It is not illegal to run gas through copper tubing, but it is not recommended for natural gas due to potential corrosion issues over time. Black steel pipe or flexible gas tubing are more commonly used for natural gas applications.

What type of copper is typically run underground?

Type L or Type K copper pipe is typically used for underground applications. These types of copper pipe have thicker walls than Type M copper pipe, making them more suitable for underground installation where they may be exposed to greater pressure or potential damage. Additionally, this thicker wall helps to prevent corrosion and allows for increased durability underground.

Concern about green salt streaks on copper drain pipe. These streaks have run down the main stack for the past few years. They extend for about 18 below the exposed basement ceiling. Condensation?

It is usually from the flux used when the pipe was soldered. Condensation will make it run down the side of the copper. If it is accessible, change it to plastic and take the scrap into a metal dealer for big bucks.
