Problema Solution
a steel pipe has an outside diameter of 4.375 inches and an inside diameter of 3.875 inches, what is the wall thickness of them pipe?
Answer provided by our tutors
OD = 4.375 in is the outside diameter
ID = 3.875 in is the inside diameter
W = wall thickness
W = (1/2)(OD - ID)
W = (1/2)(4.375 - 3.875)
W = 0.25 in
The wall thickness of the pipe is 0.25 inches.
