Introduction

The dimensions of the PVC pipes can be found here PVC_Pipe. Wikipedia on Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) [1],

We will use following guide line for position of a pipe: put one end (base) of the pipe onto the x-y plane. The center of the base has coordinate (0,0,0). The the other into positive direction of the z-axis. The default pipe length is 1ft. Rationale: This is the same way FreeCAD places a new cylinder. We mimic the FreeCAD behavior for UI consistancy.


Notations

  • O.D. - outer diameter.
  • Average I.D. - average inner diameter (why average?). This dimensions determine the size of the pipe.
  • Min. Wall - thickness of the pipe wall.
  • Schedule - determines (indirectly) the thickness of the wall.

Notes

"O.D." = "Average I.D."+2"Min. Wall"
