So many places I've seen components (fancoils and such) with inlets that are let's say 1", but where the pipe leading up it is maybe 1 1/2". Does that make any sense at all? Can pressure drop have something to do with it?
The diameter of a flow pipe refers to the width of the pipe itself, while the diameter of a component connector refers to the size of the opening or connection point for a component to be attached.
The diameter difference is important because it determines whether a component can be properly attached and function within the flow pipe. If the diameters do not match, the component may not fit or may cause disruptions in the flow of the pipe.
The diameter can be measured using a caliper or ruler. Simply measure the width of the flow pipe and the size of the opening of the component connector, and then calculate the difference between the two measurements.
There is no one standard size for flow pipe and component connector diameters, as they can vary depending on the type of pipe and component being used. However, there are common sizes that are used in different industries and applications.
Yes, adapters can be used to connect components with different diameter sizes to a flow pipe. These adapters are designed to bridge the gap between the two diameters and allow for proper connection and function of the component within the flow pipe.
