Single and Double Random Lenght of Pipes
Single and Double Random Lenght of Pipes
(OP)
I would like to know how u would interprete the single and double random lenght of pipes in the language of piping.
Does it have any relation with the size of the pipe?
What is the minimum single and minmum double random lenght of pipes?
Cheers

Double random.... plus or minus 40 feet
not exact... since they are 'random'... mill run

Single random pipe has an average length of 20 feet. Any given joint will be somewhere between 17.5 and 22.5 feet.
Double random is 40 feet on average with any given joint being between 37.5 and 42.5 feet.

In the UK, its usually 'would you like a 3m or a 6m length'. We buy a lot of flanges in the UK.(and weld a lot too.)
I would also guess that if we put a 40' length on a lorry, we would struggle to bend it round our tight roads.
What sizes do you get SRL and DRL in? Is it limited to say 6" and above or any size.

DrillerNic said it well, if you ask (and it doesn't have to be that nice) the mill will cut off your run at any length you want. I've bought DRL pipe in 4-20" sizes and the only reason I've not bought larger is I haven't laid anything larger.
I've found more problems with getting long joints hung up on dips in the road than on twisty roads (we have them too).
