All conversions depend upon the intended precision of the original quao- tity and ate rounded to the appropriate accuracy. Pipe sizes together with applicable wall thicknesses are not shown with metric equivalents ‘The $1 (metzic) values where included with the customary US. values in this Standard are the rounded equivalents of the U. S. values and are for reference only. Metric units were derived utilizing the following conversion factor: Conversion Factor “aches to 254 millimeter 1.
