Thinking about a smoking pipe, but don’t know which shape is right for you? Tempered glass are used for specialized applications, such as corrosive liquids, medical or laboratory wastes, or pharmaceutical manufacturing. Connections are generally made using specialized gasket or O-ring fittings. The inside of pipes can be cleaned with a tube cleaning process, if they are contaminated with debris or fouling.
For pipe sizes less than NPS 14 inch , both methods give a nominal value for the OD that is rounded off and is not the same as the actual OD. For example, NPS 2 inch and DN 50 are the same pipe, but the actual OD is 2.375 inches or 60.33 millimetres. The only way to obtain the actual OD is to look it up in a reference table.
On platforms,more of a systems view is neededto balance out subsidies and prices, and determine the traction needed on either side for the business model to work. On a platform business, monetization isn’t quite as straightforward. When producers and consumers transact (e.g. AirBnB, SitterCity, Etsy), one or both sides pays the platform a transaction cut. When producers create content to engage consumers , the platform may monetize consumer attention .
Now, in this chapter, it’s time to explore the pipe in more detail. You’ll learn the alternatives to the pipe, when you shouldn’t use the pipe, and some useful related tools. We are moving from linear to networked business models, from dumb glass pipes to intelligent platforms. All businesses will need to move to this new model at some point, or risk being disrupted by platforms that do. Ecommerce sites have reviews created by users, again an “intelligent” platform model. However, platform thinking applies to all Internet businesses.
Approved program participants must requalify annually to retain relief from the water and wastewater base rates.

Copper tubing is joined using flare connection, compression connection, or solder. Copper offers a high level of resistance to corrosion, but is becoming very costly. Fittings are also used to split or join a number of water pipes together, and for other purposes.
Pipe sizes are specified by a number of national and international standards, including API 5L, ANSI/ASME B36.10M and B36.19M in the US, BS 1600 and BS EN in the United Kingdom and Europe. Additionally, pipes are used for many purposes that do not involve conveying fluid. Handrails, scaffolding, and support structures are often constructed from structural pipe, especially in an industrial environment. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stiffer per unit weight than solid members. From April 2nd 2021 we comply with new Danish law that prevents us from showing pictures of tobacco products. When you buy for more than 2000 DKK (270 Euro or approx. 270 USD ) we offer shipping included.
