-- Subtract the inside diameter from the outside diameter.

-- Take half of the result. (since the outside diameter counts both walls of the pipe, and you want only one wall)

Now you have the wall thickness.

Common example. 1/2" OD, 3/8 " plastic tubing

1/2-3/8=1/8 and now divide by 2 and the wall thickness is

1/16"

Does a comma go inside or outside an apostrophe?

Outside, like: The car was John's, so he had to pay for the repairs. However, if you are using the apostrophes as single quotation marks, then inside. Commas and periods always go inside quotation marks. "Like this."

What would be the minimum width of a 3 car garage with 2 doors a single and a double?

Outside measurement of the building using one 16' and one 8' door, 1/2" plywood siding and no overhang would be 25' and 8". You need a minimum of 3" on each side of the door for the track and the thickness of the outside walls. If you are going it sheetrock the inside increase the measurement by twice the thickness of whatever you use. If 1/2" thick than the total width would be 25' 8".


What is diffirance pipe vs tube?

The purpose with a pipe is the transport of a fluid like water, oil or similar, and the most import property is the capacity or the inside diameter. For a ASME/ANSI B 36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe the inside diameter - ID - of a NPS 2 inches pipe with * schedule 40 is 2.067" * schedule 80 is 1.939" The inside diameters are close to 2" and the nominal diameter related to the inside diameter. Outside diameter are 2.375" for both schedules. Since the outside diameter of a single nominal pipe size is kept constant the inside diameter of a pipe will depend on the "schedule" or the thickness of the pipe. The schedule and the actual thickness of a pipe varies with the size of the pipe. It is common to identify pipes in inches by using NPS or "Nominal Pipe Size". The metric equivalent is called DN or "diametre nominel". The metric designations conform to International Standards Organization (ISO) usage and apply to all plumbing, natural gas, heating oil, and miscellaneous piping used in buildings. The use of NPS does not conform to American Standard pipe designations where the term NPS means "National Pipe Thread Straight". Nominal Bore (NB) may be specified under British standards classifications along with schedule (wall thickness). The tolerances are looser to pipes compared with tubes and they are often less expensive to produce. The nominal dimensions of tubes are based on the outside diameter. If we look at Copper Tubes - ASTM B88 the outside diameter of a 2" pipe is 2.125", relatively close to 2". The inside diameter of a tube will depend on the thickness of the tube. The thickness is often specified as a gauge. If we look at Copper Tubes - ASTM B88 the wall thickness of 0.083"of a 2" pipe is gauge 14. The tolerances are higher with tubes compared to pipes and tubes are often more expensive to produce than pipes.

Do firefighters work inside or outside?

They work both inside and outside, depending on the situation. In cases of building fires, they normally put the fire out using the hose outside, but firefighters go inside to search for any people left in the fire. In cases of wild fires, they obviously work outside to help control the fire before it spreads too much.
