What is a water tube?
The water pipe is any pipe or tube designed to transport treated drinking water to consumers. Variants may include the main pipes with a large diameter supplied by the whole cities, a smaller branch that gives the street or group of buildings or pipes with a small diameter located in individual buildings. The water pipes range in size from giant examples up to 144 inches (365 cm) with a diameter to a small 1/2 inches (12.7 mm) pipes used to feed individual outlets in the building. Materials that are commonly used for the construction of water pipes include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), copper, steel and in older concrete systems or fired clay. The connection of the individual lengths of the water pipes to create extended runs is possible using a flange, nipple, compression or soldered joints.
The offer of fresh drinking water for residential, business and industrial areas is one of the oldest services in historicII A has, which has, from Roman times, depended on its implementation on an inconspicuous water pipe. Early examples of water pipes were influenced by technology or its lack of day, and were generally constructed from easily accessible and feasible materials such as wood and lead foils used by the Romans. Wood tubes were often not more than excavated protocols associated with a somewhat disgusting mixture of heated animal fat. The Roman water pipes were usually square in a cross -section with folded seams and joints. The use of lead in the construction of water pipes continued well until the beginning of the 20th century, when the health risks associated with the use of metal were more clearly understood and with the resulting transition to steel, copper and PVC pipes.
Modern networks and water installations use water pipes in a number of standard application categories. The first is the main water, which usually has steel, concrete or PVC pipes bring water for water to the immediate consumer area. These pipes can moveIn size from 6 to 144 inches (15–365 mm) in diameter and are usually evaluated with a minimum working pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (dogs). Most network systems use steel flanges to connect to individual ducts. Most of the water network is an underground or buried line, although in some cases they can run on the surface supported by concrete pylons.
In the immediate vicinity of consumer points, the main water will feed several smaller water pipes that act as a secondary distribution system. Usually it is also a steel or PVC pipe of an average diameter of 4 to 12 inches (10-30 cm). Individual consumer points are removed from these secondary feeds with steel or PVC pipes of approximately 2 inches (5 cm), which insert water into the pipeline in the building. These pipes are most often varieties of PVC or copper with an average size of 1/2 inches of up to 1 inches (12.7 to 25.4 mm) and the tread feed for individual water heaters, faucets and toilets. Most joints on the instanceThe all -water pipes are either a compression type in the case of PVC or soldered joints on copper pipes.
