For the approximate mass of galvanised tubes, add the following percentages to mass indicated above:
Light Tube – 6.5%; Med Tube – 5.75%; Heavy Tube – 5%

Tolerance:
Outside Diameters – see max & min above; Thickness – plus tolerances

These pipes can be used for higher pressures than those above, or for special working conditions with suitable types of joints.
The efficiency of taper/parallel screwed joints is highly dependant on the degree of care taken in assembly and jointing compound used.
Light pipes are not recommended for steam, air or gas services. Reference to steam service applies to saturated steam only.
