Someone who knew how to design it could. WW2 four engine heavy
bombers were made from aluminum sheet 1/16" and thinner.

Gee, Stryper... another "duh!" moment.

Did you ever wonder WHY one thing might be called Schedule-80, and
another Schedule-40? *Did you ever look at _anything_ concerning what
those terms might mean?

(So the steel man says, "Joe, go out to that big stack of tubing out
there, and label half of it 'Schedule-40', and the other half 'Schedule-
80' so we can make our orders...")

They are the same, +/- 3dB.

Then sch-160 is only 6dB over sch-40 G

I've always looked up pipe sizes in appropriate charts and I've always
assumed that the schedule #'s were some abritrary number set by an
industry standard, but I found a formula for it: Pipe schedule = 1000
* (pressure / allowable stress) where pressure = internal working pipe
pressure and allowable stress is for the material used.

And the frolapse has to be tacked properly.


One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
