    3-4%
  32. main characteristics of gray iron
    (has graphite flakes in it)

    • - resistence to wear/corrosion
    • - low heat expansion
    • - fractures easily
    • - cannot bend

    Type M = Red (cannot bent, hard temper only)
    Type H = White (thin wall, for hot water heat systems) no longer available
  39. what is the heat expansion of copper pipe?
    1/8" for every 10ft and 100'F temp change
  40. List four reasons for supporting pipes:
    • - to carry the weight of the pipe and contents
    • - to grade the pipe system with adequate slope
    • - to prevent sagging or deflection of piping
    • - to allow for thermal movement of the system
  41. What is Thermosetting?
    resins reacting in plastic pipe to hold a shape or form, cannot be reshaped. Stronger of the plastic pipes.
  42. Disadvantages of plastic pipe:
    • - high expansion
    • - low tensile strengtch
    • - creeps
    • - low heat resistance
    • - low ductility
    • - low fire resistence
