How would a plumber measure the diameter of a pipe?
They can measure the circumference of the pipe and divide it by pi or 3.14 to get an approximate answer
What is the formula of finding the circumference of the pipe?
diameter times 3.14159
What is the outside circumference of a pipe if the inside diameter is 1.5 inches and the thickness of the pipe is .25 inch?
The pipe will have an outside diameter of 1.5+.25+.25 = 2". A pipe with an outside diameter of 2" has an outside circumference of 2"*Pi. 2"*3.142 ~= 6.284" or about 6 1/4"
Why do you measure the diameter of the pipe instead of the circumference of the pipe?
You could, but if you do, you will have to divide the circumference by π, and that's an irrational number. And, think of placing the pipe in a rectangular box with two sides the same length as the diameter of the pipe. It fits, and it makes the question much, much simpler. (Doesn't it? Sorry if my answer's too long.)
What is the circumference in inches of a 5 schedule 40 steel pipe od equals 5.5?
7.227
What is the circumference of 12-inch pipe?
The circumference of 12-inch pipe is: 37.7 inches. (C = d x Pi)Since 12 inch pipe is a nominal size and its outside diameter is 12.75 inches, the circumference of 12 inch pipe actually is : 40.035 inches
How calculating weight of pipe?
Find the circumference of the exterior of the pipe, then find the circumference of the interior. subtract the two to find the thickness of the pipe. then multiply the length of the pipe. Now you have the mass of the pipe, so calculate that into the weight of steel or aluminum or whatever the pipe is made of.
What is the circumference of a six inch pipe?
circumference = 2*pi*radius or pi*diameter
What is the circumference of a pipe 10 inches in diameter?
31.4159inches
How would a plumber measure the diameter of a pipe?
They can measure the circumference of the pipe and divide it by pi or 3.14 to get an approximate answer
What is the outside circumference of a 15 inch pipe?
It is 47.1 inches.
What is the formula of finding the circumference of the pipe?
diameter times 3.14159
What is the outside circumference of a 36 inch pipe?
The answer depends on what the "36 inch" measures: inside circumference, radius, diameter?
What is the outside circumference of a pipe if the inside diameter is 1.5 inches and the thickness of the pipe is .25 inch?
The pipe will have an outside diameter of 1.5+.25+.25 = 2". A pipe with an outside diameter of 2" has an outside circumference of 2"*Pi. 2"*3.142 ~= 6.284" or about 6 1/4"
What size pipe is a 5 inch circumference?
The formula for working out the circumference of a circle (like a pipe) is diameter times pi. (You should find pi on your calculator, if not, it is 3.14159265) Since you know the circumference, you divide the circumference (5inch) by pi (3.14159265), and you get the diameter, i.e. the size pipe. While the above formulas are correct, using this equation example will not tell you what size pipe you have. There are a number of factors involved in determining the correct answer. There are many different materials that pipe is made out of and some of these affect the dimensions of the pipe. As an example, the actual outside diameter of 1" copper pipe and 1" steel pipe are not the same. If you are talking about steel pipe, it is important to understand that all pipe 12 inch and under is referred to as "nominal" pipe size. In this case, the outside diameter of 12 inch pipe is actually 12.75 inches. For the original question asked above, the 5 inch circumference would equal 1-9/16" outside diameter which would be the equivalent of 1-1/4" pipe (nominal).
What does 5G mean in welding?
5G is a welding position for pipe. The pipe is in a fixed, horizontal position. There is a groove along the circumference of the pipe where the weld is to be made.
What is the circumference of a 4inch pipe?
"4 inch" would usually refer to the diameter in such cases. You can multiply that by pi (which is about 3.1416) to get the circumference.
