  2. Iron pipe size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_pipe_size

    The IPS number (reference to an OD) is the same as the NPS number, but the schedules were limited to Standard Wall (STD), Extra Strong, (XS) and Double Extra Strong (XXS). STD is identical to Schedule 40 for NPS 1/8 to NPS 10, inclusive, and indicates .375" wall thickness for NPS 12 and larger.

  3. Standard dimension ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_dimension_ratio

    The standard dimension ratio describes the correlation between the pipe dimension and the thickness of the pipe wall. [1] Common nominations are SDR11, SDR17, SDR26 and SDR35. Pipes with a lower SDR can withstand higher pressures. = Pipe outside diameter

  4. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    The first expanded polystyrene ICF Wall forms were developed in the late 1960s with the expiration of the original patent and the advent of modern foam plastics by BASF. [citation needed] Canadian contractor Werner Gregori filed the first patent for a foam concrete form in 1966 with a block "measuring 16 inches high by 48 inches long with a tongue-and-groove interlock, metal ties, and a waffle ...

  5. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

    In the 1930s, the pipe was designated by its internal diameter and a 1 ⁄ 16-inch (1.6 mm) wall thickness. Consequently, a 1-inch (25 mm) copper pipe had a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8-inch (28.58 mm) outside diameter. The outside diameter was the important dimension for mating with fittings. The wall thickness on modern copper is usually thinner than 1 ⁄ 16 ...

  6. Ductile iron pipe - Wikipedia

    EN 545/598 mandates a minimum zinc content of 200 g/m 2 (at 99.99% purity) and a minimum average finishing layer thickness of 70 μm (with local minimum of 50 μm). AS/NZS 2280 mandates a minimum zinc content of 200 g/m 2 (with a local minimum of 180 g/m 2 at 99.99% purity) and a minimum average finishing layer thickness of 80 μm.

  7. Plumbing - Wikipedia

    Thicker walled pipe generally implies greater durability and higher pressure tolerances. Pipe wall thickness is denoted by various schedules or for large bore polyethylene pipe in the UK by the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR), defined as the ratio of the pipe diameter to its wall thickness. Pipe wall thickness increases with schedule, and is ...

  8. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

    EPS is the most common of the foams used and has an R-value (thermal resistance) of about 4 °F·ft 2 ·h/Btu (equivalent to about 0.7 K·m 2 /W) per 25 mm thickness, which would give the 3.5 inches (89 mm) of foam in a 4.5-inch-thick (110 mm) panel an R value of 13.8 (caution: extrapolating R-values over thickness may be imprecise due to non ...

  9. Precast concrete - Wikipedia

    The overall thickness of sandwich wall panels in commercial applications is typically 8 inches, but their designs are often customized to the application. In a typical 8-inch wall panel the concrete wythes are each 2-3/8 inches thick), sandwiching 3-1/4 inches of high R-value insulating foam. The interior and exterior wythes of concrete are ...
