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.


Why is electrolysis only used to extract certain metals?

Electrolysis is mainly used for extracting metals that are highly reactive and difficult to obtain by other methods. These metals typically have a strong affinity for electrons, making them suitable candidates for the reduction process involved in electrolysis. Metals like sodium, potassium, and aluminum are commonly extracted using electrolysis because of their high reactivity.


What is a dielectic union porpose?

a dielectic unions sole purpose is to physically separate two dissimilar metals. The reason for this is that without it metals would suffer from electrolysis and corrode. This would cause premature failure of metallic components.

What is the subsatnce is used to join metals together such as pipes?

Welding is the process used to join metals together such as pipes. It involves using a combination of heat and pressure to melt the metals at their joint, allowing them to bond when cooled. Soldering and brazing are also common methods for joining metals with the use of a filler material that melts at a lower temperature than the base metals.


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 are crack pipes sold at stores if crack is illegal?

well they are mostly used for marijuana and not crack and they arent illegal because they can be used for smoking tobacco as well which is what the smokes shops will tell you they are for


What are the differences between DWV and Schedule 40 pipes?

DWV pipes are designed for drainage, waste, and venting systems, while Schedule 40 pipes are used for pressurized water systems. DWV pipes have thinner walls and are not suitable for high-pressure applications, while Schedule 40 pipes have thicker walls and can handle higher pressure.


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.'

What metals can oxyacetylene weld?

Oxyacetylene welding can be used for welding most common metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. However, it is typically not suitable for welding reactive metals like titanium or zirconium.
