How can you find the size of a pipe by internal diameter outer diameter and length?
The internal diameter of the pipe times pi times its length will yield the volume it can contain. The outer diameter of the pipe times pi times its length will yield the volume that the pipe will displace when it is submerged or buried. The volume the pipe will displace minus the volume it will contain will yield the volume of material that makes up the pipe.
How do you work out x dimensions?
measure the length of the fitting first. Then insert pipe into fitting and mark a line on pipe. measure that bit of pipe. deduct off the length of fitting and half it to give you your x dimension
What cross-section do you get when you give a vertical cut to a circular pipe?
The answer depends on the orientation of the pipe and the cut. Even if the cut is vertical, it can be along the axis (length) of the pipe, at right angles to it or at a slant. If the cut is along the axis, the cross section will be two rectangles where the length of the rectangle is the length of the pipe and the width is the thickness of the pipe. If the pipe has negligible thickness, this may be taken to be two parallel lines. If the cut is at right angles to the axis then the cross section will be an annulus which, when the thickness is negligible will become a circle. Finally, if the cut is skew, then you will get ellipses which will collapse to a single ellipse for negligible thickness.
What is the formula for computing the surface area of a pipe elbow?
Calculate as you would the surface of a cylinder who's height is the length of the central line of the pipe bend.(2*π*r*h)where:r is the (external) radius of the pipeπ is the constant 3.14159... andh is the length of the cylinder or the center-line of the pipe bend
How do you compute the pipe length?
minus weld gaps and takeoffs from total then multiply for angle.
