All pipes of a particular nominal size have the same_________________?
Correct answer: B. Outside diameter
- A. Inside diameter
- B. Outside diameter
- C. Thickness
- D. None of these
Explanation
For a given nominal pipe size, the outside diameter is standardized, while the inside diameter changes with the schedule because wall thickness varies. Thus pipes of the same nominal size need not have the same inside diameter or thickness.
