Pipes are typically measured by their nominal diameter, which refers to the inside diameter (ID) of the pipe rather than the outside diameter (OD). This measurement allows for standardization across various pipe materials and types, facilitating compatibility with fittings and connections. The wall thickness varies depending on the pipe's schedule or classification, but the nominal diameter remains consistent as the primary reference point.

Are pipes measured by the diameter or circumference?
Diameter.
What is the function of inside caliper?
To measure ID of pipes and cylinders.
Why do plumbers use fraction in their career?
Plumbers commonly need to use fractions in their career. The reason for this is that the pipes that they use is measured primarily in fractions, such as 1 3/4' pipe. Plumbers often have to custom make fittings, which requires them to be able to calculate in fractions in order to get a good fit.
What does mean by Elbow 45 butt weld LR?
Elbow is a fitting used to change pipe direction, 45 degrees in this case, LR is referred as "long Radius" ( normally most pipes, unless you ask for SR, short radius). Butt weld refers to welding 2 ends from two separate fittings or pipe. Both ends are beveled (30 degrees is tapered from inside pipe diameter to outside pipe diameter on pipe/fitting connections)

Diameter.
What is the function of heat exchange pipes in refrigerator?
Heat exchange pipes in a refrigerator are responsible for transferring heat from the inside of the refrigerator to the outside environment, allowing the refrigerator to maintain a cool temperature inside. The pipes contain a refrigerant that absorbs heat as it evaporates inside the refrigerator and releases it as it condenses outside. This process helps in cooling the interior of the refrigerator.
Is the water dripping outside from my air conditioning unit have freon in it?
No, The refrigerant within the system is on the inside of the pipes and the water condensing on the coils from the moisture in the homes air and running out of the drain is on the outside of the pipes.
IS THERE Anything close that means the rotting of pipes from the inside?
corrosion or rust are about the only terms I am aware of. Inside or outside doesn't matter.
Why are fins are attached to the pipes inside the heater?
Fins are attached to the pipes inside the heater to increase the surface area in contact with the surrounding air. This allows for better heat transfer from the hot water inside the pipes to the air outside, improving the overall efficiency of the heater.
How did the Romans get the water inside the Roman Colosseum?
they got the water inside by using pipes from the outside and connect them underground to the inside and let the water flow when they wanted it to.
Is asbestos found inside of plumping pipe supply?
Asbestos was used in many different building materials, including asbestos-concrete pipe (a common brand name was Transite). It is generally not found inside metal pipes- it WAS used as insulation on the outside of pipes.
Are pipes measured on the inside?
both ID inside diameter and OD outside wall thickness is determined by sch 40 ect the higher the number the thicker the wall pressure pipe should be a higher rating c900 PVC can go to 200 psi ductile and steel up to 600 psi non pressure pipe is a sch 35 usually
Should you insulate your hydronic heat pipes in the basement?
If the basement has ventilation to outside, the answer is yes. Heat loss from the pipes will escape outside the house. If the basement is closed to the outside then no, the pipes need not be insulated. Any heat lost from the pipes will provide some heating to the basement that will rise into the house.
How do you use inside calipers?
to measure inside diameters of pipes
How do you paint inside bend pipes?
With a paintbrush.
Can drano be used in plumbing pipes outside?
You must mean in DRAIN pipes. -It can not be used in plumbing pipes.
