Your steamup W/E 4/13/02

Hi Clark, Thanks for your hospitality and a great steamup at your track this last weekend. We had a great time, lots of track and space, lots of track time, great hot dogs and met a great bunch of guys, some known and some unknown to us. Well worth the drive, all 1084 miles. Looking for

By varying the I.D., the O.D. remains the same and allows all three series of nominal copper pipe (M, L, and DWV) to share the same elbows, tees, reducers, etc. Copper TUBING is another story... Mike

Hi Geoffrey, I hear you gave your dog a serious injury, but you had to take the medication for it?. Do you even begrudge your dog a taste of the good stuff. Shame on you!. Steve was correct about Gary's steamup, however I think he mean't to say "most of us maintained steam, and all main

Re: of boilers and things

So Harry, I can understand why a so-called 1 1/2" tubing would be 1 5/8" OD if the tubing has a wall thickness of .0625. But are the other wall thicknesses still 1 5/8" OD, letting the ID vary ? Seems an odd way of doing it. It would seem that the ID is the most important "characteristic" of tu

Boxes, but I'm working on that. Actually my next few projects are going to be geared towards building some rolling stock to run behind my locos. I've got a half-finished caboose to do, then a string of hoppers, a flat or three, and then Marc had to go and publish plans for 1:20 passenger cars in

Re: of boilers and things

To Royce, from Arthur in Mexico City Do not go to thinner walled tubing because there is a safety factor involved. The effect of steam at 40 psi is not the same as air at the same pressure. Steam debilitates a pressure shell. The slightly more btu's required to heat up a Type M or L copper tub

Re: of boilers and things

Interesting. Assuming your thicker copper tubing has the same OD, then the extra copper will be on the inside. So there will be a bit less water. Now, copper has 9 times the weight of water but only one-tenth the specific heat. So more copper will actually reduce the heat-up time !!! All other thi

of boilers and things

So here's a question to "pick things up a little". I have a piece of boiler tubing from a kit 1 1/2" in outside diameter with a wall thickness of about .035". There are those of you out there who probably could say that that is type "M", or something tubing. But as this tubing is provided in a
