Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT and stands for Electrical Metallic Tubing. The term thin wall is used to differentiate between two conduit systems, thin wall and rigid conduit systems.
Usually in the industry, we call it metal conduits. Metallic conduit is stronger, more durable, and more fire-resistant than non-metallic conduit. It is often used in industrial, commercial, and hazardous environments. Which included, Rigid Metal Conduit(RMC) Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) Galvanized Rigid Conduit (GRC) Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) Liquid-tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC) Hope it works.
There will be at lease three and on some conduits additional information. There will be the manufacture's name, type of material the conduit is manufactured from and the diameter size of the conduit. For example Scepter PVC 100 mm (for American customers 4") conduit.
If you are talking about the primary wires to the transformer then yes they have to be encased in concrete.
In a fillet weld, the leg and size are the same for the convex weld.
4 inch rigid conduit
In electrical terms it represents Rigid Steel Conduit. It is also known as Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC).This is not to be confused with Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) also known in the trade as thin wall conduit.
Require professional expertise and tools due to the difficulty in bending the conduit to fit. This can increase installation costs and complexity. Additionally, the rigid nature of the metal conduit makes it less versatile for installation in tight or complex spaces.
Galvanized rigid conduit is coated with a layer of zinc to provide protection against corrosion. This coating helps to extend the lifespan of the conduit when used in outdoor or corrosive environments.
A 770 Greenlee hydraulic pipe bender bend is used for rigid steel conduit from 2" to 4".
depends on size....
For a 400 amp service, you would typically use a minimum of 3-inch rigid metal conduit (RMC) to accommodate the large conductors required for that amperage. It's essential to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with sizing requirements for your specific installation.

There are two types of rigid conduit systems. One is PVC rigid conduit. It is mostly used in underground installations and in in areas that contain water or corrosive chemicals. The second type of rigid conduit is steel conduit. In Canada it is mostly phased out due to the high installation labour costs. Small installations are still used in small explosion proof areas.Both types of systems in Canada have been replaced with Tech armoured cable. Installation costs are lower and the wire is in the cable set, so no wires to pull. It is approved for above grade and underground direct burial installations. Tech also has been approved in explosion proof areas when used with the proper explosion proof end connectors to seal the cable.

Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing). It is a type of conduit made of steel that is commonly used for protecting and routing electrical wiring in commercial and industrial construction.
