Good summary, I always wondered about that. I don't understand your remark that pipe outside diameter never changes, since pipe is sold by a defined internal diameter. Charts of different schedule pipe do show variance in wall thickness with both internal diameter and schedule.
@lhxperimental6 жыл бұрын
I guess "never changes" refers to the evenness of OD for a given pipe. It means that even though pipes are specified by their nominal internal diameter, this parameter is not as consistent throughout the length of the pipe as compared to OD.

Oh, good point, I didn't think about variance along the length of the pipe.

But the video says pipes are measured by the inside diameter. This is how they're sold but maybe not what actual size they are. Maybe the reason the O.D. never changes is so that couplers will fit pipes regardless of what schedule they are.

You said "usually" with pipe being sold by ID, not "always", which is especially true here in the UK :-) We have a weird situation with water pipes - until the 1970s we used to have standard pipes with ID in inches (especially relevant in the old days of thick-walled lead pipes), now we measure them with OD in mm. Most pipe sizes are different enough that you can't interchange Imperial and Metric, but a 1/2" pipe is interchangeable with a 15mm pipe, even though half-an-inch is 12.7mm.

Knowing the material's true dimensions is key to selecting the proper machine and tooling for your application. PIPE sizes are measured by ID., with WALL THICKNESS referred to in terms of SCHEDULE. TUBE sizes are based on OD, and WALL THICKNESS is referred to in gauge sizes. For example,a 1-1/4 in. SCHEDULE 40 PIPE has a 1/1/4 in ID, and a 1.66-in. OD. Whereas a 1-1/4-in TUBE .65 WALL has a 1-1/4-in OD and a 1.120-in. ID.

Tube is measured by outside diameter, the pipe is measured by inside diameter below 12 inch,the pipe is measured by outside diameter above 12 inch according to manufacturing system pipes are classified in 3 types seamed pipe,seamless pipe and spiral pipes. pipes are commonly used transportation system like liquid,gas and powdered form of materials.sometimes structural work also. Tubes are used in structural constructions. Commonly tube shapes are rectangular or square. Tube specifications like 18 gauge (1.024 mm)or 16 gauge (1.291). This is only specified tube wall thickness.Not used scheduled system. That is only used in pipe specification. Pipe specification like scheduled 40 or scheduled 80.

Tube, of the right sort, is often used for pressure applications, even if you don't sell that type. I have run stainless tube for decades for applications that hold thousands of pounds pressure. Most industrial instrumentation utilizes stainless tube. Larger tube is used within industrial heat exchangers and furnaces. It might be well to note that ANSI B31-3 and other ANSI codes make no distinction between pipe and tube in terms of how they are inspected and used, so make sure you're using a suitable grade.

Those shower taps are probably not inches though. But in the old measurements of the country you buy them in. And pipes can often be bought in both the old and in metric measurements and sometimes in inches aswell. Although I'm pretty sure gaspipes have to be metric.

@Giblet5356 жыл бұрын
That makes even less sense than the video description. Good work. What I know: OD changes with *both* ID and schedule. Further, Pipe that is used for refrigeration or A/C (ACR) is called tubing and is sized by the OD. What I suspect: In the end, you have no way to identify or specify what you need for a given project because the entire industry is run by turtles. Stupid, mean, bitterly jealous turtles. There are standards for pipe or tubing sizes, but they cannot be counted on when ordering as only two or three people knew what those standards were, and they died without divulging their secrets, so every vendor just makes up some random dimensions. You can specify whatever you want for a phone or online order, but you'll take what the vendor gives you and like it. If ordering in person, you *must* take a piece of pipe to the vendor and insist on seeing a sample so you can test fit your pipe to theirs. That's the only option that has any chance to work. Take a turtle hammer though.

Schedule is a pressure rating, that is why schedule 80 is thicker on 10'' than it is on 2''. 3" schedule 80 pipe and 3 1/2'' .219 wall tube are so close in size that they can be butt welded. Tube has tighter tolerance on I.D and O.D dimensions and wall thickness than pipe does. If you go through enough steps on good pipe you can certify the pipe to be used a tube. If the pipe is for example a low grade of chrome moly a material cert could be performed, then wall thickness could be confirmed and finally the O.D. size could be checked to confirm it is within tolerance. If all that checked out you could now use the pipe as tube. This guy needs to learn what he is talking about before he makes videos!
