2. Pipecutter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipecutter

   Plastic tubing cutters, which resemble a pair of pruning shears, may be used for thinner pipes and tubes, such as sprinkler pipe. For use on thicker pipes, there is a pipecutter with a sharp wheel and adjustable jaw grips. These are used by rotating it around the pipe and repeatedly tightening it until it cuts all of the way through. [1]

   The difference between pipes and tubes is a matter of sizing. For instance, PVC pipe for plumbing applications and galvanized steel pipe are measured in iron pipe size (IPS). Copper tube, CPVC, PeX and other tubing is measured nominally, basically an average diameter. These sizing schemes allow for universal adaptation of transitional fittings.

4. Galvanization - Wikipedia

   These plaques can flake off, leading to visible impurities in water and a slight metallic taste. The life expectancy of galvanized piping is about 40–50 years, [12] but it may vary on how well the pipes were built and installed. Pipe longevity also depends on the thickness of zinc in the original galvanizing, which ranges on a scale from G01 ...

6. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   An advantage of this type of fitting is that the pipe it is connecting to does not need to be cut to a precise length; the slip joint can attach within a range of the end of the inserting pipe. Many slip fittings may be tightened or loosened by hand for easier access to residential drainpipe systems (for example, to clean out a trap or access a ...

7. Pipe Cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Cutting

   Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting . Hot cutting refers to a process in which materials are cut using a thermal torch. One of the most common techniques is oxy-fuel gas cutting, which is used extensively for cutting carbon and low-alloy steels. However, its efficiency diminishes as the alloy content of the material increases, limiting its applicability ...
