Schedule 40 PVC
HH wrote:
I would like to know what the actual OD is of schedule 40 PVC tubing.
I am building a NVIS dipole for 3.6 & 7.2 Mhz
I know what the wall thickness is and the nominal size, but say for instance
the OD of 1 1/2" schedule 40, is it really the OD they are measuring?
Here in Australia we have a quaint method of measuring structural steel pipe
where the OD is nothing like the size its listed at.
For example 3/4" pipe is actually 1 1/16 OD!! Give or take the wall
thickness, but its still known as 3/4" pipe!
Thanks
