A pipe is 2" outside diameter and it has 3/16" walls .What is the inside diameter,?
2 - 2(3/16)
2 - 6/16 = 1 10/16 = 1 5/8
Ido not know how you got the ansmwer could you please explain.
See your later post for an explanation.
To find the inside diameter of a pipe, you need to subtract the thickness of the walls from the outside diameter.
Given:
Outside diameter = 2"
Wall thickness = 3/16"
First, let's convert the wall thickness to inches:
3/16" = 0.1875"
Now, subtract the wall thickness from the outside diameter:
Inside diameter = Outside diameter - 2 * Wall thickness
Inside diameter = 2" - 2 * 0.1875"
Inside diameter = 2" - 0.375"
Inside diameter = 1.625"
Therefore, the inside diameter of the pipe is 1.625".
