Thanks for the explanation of "joint". Again, likely an oil field term,
certainly nothing ever used where I worked, but then we didn't specialize
in
pipe, either.

Unless, of course, you are referring to a joint of drill pipe. In that
case, they are random lengths, IIRC, from 39 to 44 feet each, and I don't
know why they are uneven lengths. I have sent many hundreds of miles of it
up to the drill floor through the V door.

Perhaps Turtle knows the answer to the why of the uneven lengths.....
