Copper pipe types explained

I found this article in my feed and thought it would be a great read for new distillers gathering materials for a build.

Very thoughtful of you. I’ve vortices that sweat fitting also seem to have different thicknesses. Would that there were as clearly written article about them

That article has lots of info on why the types exist but is fairly devoid of useful info.

Here's a table that gives actual dimensions of US copper pipe. Most people here need to combine copper pipe with something like stainless sanitary fittings which use an entirely different set of dimensions.

It's important to mention where the standards are from. The copper table I referenced is US, anywhere else it would be unobtainium.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!
