Derive the wall thickness depending on the outside diameter of pipe

Source: R/wth_d.R
wth_d.Rd

Use GOST 30732 specifications to derive the value of the pipe wall thickness if only its diameter is known for the pipe.

Usage

wth_d(x)

Arguments

x

outside diameter of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

Details

Utility should be used only in cases where the actual value of the pipe wall thickness cannot be determined by any other means. In many cases internal diameter may be used instead of outside one without significant loss in precision. The wall thickness value is derived only for the diameters mentioned in Minenergo Order 325.

Unfortunately, the inverse function cannot be constructed in any reliable way due to significant ambiguity.
