The considerations governing pipe wall thickness and its relation to joint design are covered'in the .American Standard Code for . Pressure Piping, ASA B31.1-1942, see Section 122. Standard schedules of pipe thick-: nesses are contained in the American Standard for Wrought-Iron and Wrought-Steel Pipe, ASA B36.10, which includes standard-weight and

Note 2:--For tubes other than round no standard tolerances are established. These tolerances do not apply to condenser and heat exchanger tubes.
extra-strong thicknesses in Schedules 40 and 80, respectively, and eight other schedules of varying wall thickness to provide for different service conditions. Dimensions and other useful data for Schedules 30 and 40 pipe are given in Table 1. Table 2 from A.S.T.M. Specifications A53 and A120 combines the schedule thicknesses of ASA B36.10 and the old series designations.
Standard-weight pipe is generally furnished with threaded ends in random lengths of 16 to 22 ft, although when ordered with plain ends, 5 percent may be in lengths of 12 to 16 ft. Five percent of the total number of lengths ordered may be jointers which are two pieces coupled together.

Extra-strong pipe is generally furnished with plain ends in random lengths of 12 to 22 ft, although 5 percent may be in lengths of 6 to 12 ft.
In addition to IPS copper pipe, several varieties of copper tubing are in use with either flared or compression couplings or soldered joints. Dimen sions of copper water tubing intended for plumbing, underground water services, fuel-oil lines, gas lines, etc., have been standardized by the U. S. Government and the American Society for Testing Materials. There are

* From Piping Handbook, by Walker and Crocker. This table gives the expansion from -20 F to the tem perature in question. To obtain the amount of expansion between any two temperatures take the differ ence between the figures in the table for those temperatures. For example, if a steel pipe is installed at a tem perature of 60 F and is to operate at 300 F, the expansion would be 2.519 0.593 = 1.926 in.
three standard wall-thickness schedules of copper water tubing classified in accordance with their principal uses as follows:
Type K--Designed for underground services and general plumbing service. Type L--Designed for general plumbing purposes. Type M--Designed for use with soldered fittings only.
In general, Type K is used where corrosion conditions are severe, and Types L and M where such conditions may be considered normal as, for instance, in heating work. Types K and L are available in both hard and soft tempers; Type M is available only in hard temper. Where flexibility is essential as in hidden replacement work, or where as few joints as possible are desired as in fuel-oil lines, the soft temper is commonly used. In new or exposed work copper pipe of a hard temper is generally used. All three classes are. extensively used with soldered fittings.
Standard dimensions, weights, and diameter and wall-thickness toler ances for these classes of copper tubing are given in Table 3. Copper pipe is also available with dimensions of steel pipe.
Refrigeration lines used in connection with air conditioning equipment also employ copper tubing extensively. For refrigeration use where tubing absolutely free from scale and dirt is required, bright annealed copper
