New name for 2" IPS copper tubular bus
New name for 2" IPS copper tubular bus
(OP)
In the new standard, there are two types of 2" copper substation tubular buses - 2" copper, schedule 40, 98%ICAS; and 2" copper, Schedule 80, 98% ICAS.
Which one is equivalent to 2" IPS Copper in the old standard?
Thanks

RE: New name for 2" IPS copper tubular bus
If you meant the cross correspondence between 2" CTS Standard and 2" ASTM B-188 then no type is accurately correspondent.
Type K [CTS] is close, in a way, to schedule 4 but the outside diameter is only 2.125[CTS] with respect to 2.375[ASTM B-188].
The wall thickness is 0.166 for CTS and only 0.156 for ASTM B-188.

I have always assumed Iron Pipe Size to be schedule 40 unless otherwise stated.
Iron, Copper or Aluminum.

It'll have the completely different meaning from "Iron Pipe Size".
Can someone to verify it?
Thanks

For schedule 40, IPS equals IPS mostly.
But there are exceptions where the internal diameter of a schedule 40 pipe does not match exactly the nominal Iron Pipe Size.
