Tubular products are termed tube or pipe. Tube is customarily specified by its outside diameter and
wall thickness, expressed either BWG (Birmingham wire guage) or in inches or in thousands. Pipe is

StressesOnPiping
Thermal Stresses: change in temperature of piping due either to changes in temperature of the
environment or of the conveyed fluid, cause changes in temperature in length of the piping. This

SettlementStrains: foundation of large tanks and heavy equipment may settle or tilt slightly in the
course of time. Connected piping and equipment not on a common foundation will be stressed by the
displacement.

Pipelines(66)
The smallest size of pipe run on a piperack without additional support is usually 2inch. It may be more
economic to change proposed small lines to 2inch pipe, or to suspend them from 4inch or larger lines,
insteadofprovidingadditionalsupport.
