AI Thread Summary
When replacing a rod with a tube, understanding the relationship between wall thickness and inner diameter is crucial. The outer diameter (da) is given as 12, leading to the calculation of the inner diameter (di) as di = da - 2(da/12), which simplifies to di = (5/6)da. Drawing a cross-section is recommended for better visualization of the inner diameter. Accurate calculations ensure proper fitting and structural integrity in applications. Clear comprehension of these dimensions is essential for effective design and engineering.

The rod shall be replaced by a tube (wall thickness s =
da=12).if da is the outer diameter,then the inner diameter is it di=da-da/12 ??

Be careful, recommended to draw the cross-section when evaluating the inner diameter for a clearer view.

d_{i}=d_{a}-2(\frac{d_{a}}{12})=\frac{5}{6}d_{a}
