Copper Pipe Sizing Tool.

[Testech]

At my college, I once saw a plastic pipe sizing tool.

It was quite small credit card size and had the cut outs for 1/4 to 3/8,1/2,5/8 and 3/4 on it.

For quick sizing, does anyone know where I can get one please ?.

why don't you make it yourself? take a piece of pipe,make it hot and melt it in a plastic plate. do so for every common pipe desire. after a few months throw it away because you now by then all the pipes by head. LOL

icecube51 hit the nail on the head. use an old credit card or one of thoughs fakes that come in the mail.if you fit pipe at all, you'll know them by touch in just a short while!

Hello, I wanted to ask does anybody know any software or literature for copper tubes calculations (velocity, presure drop, pipe dimensioning etc.) on what criterion I shoud tend my attention and what is doesnt matter and so on. If someone have any ideas I would be greatful if you could post some of them. I think for others it is usefull too.

Thank you for advices, I know that my question maybe was strange for you :) But I am just a fancier of heat pumps, and trying to make a heat pump for my house, by my self, I hope I will make it :) So, I have choosen a compressor, and a heat exchangers. Today my attention is based on piping. Another interesting thing that interesting me is connecting a heat exchangers with compressor.
1) What is better at discharge line , to make a loop like spring, or a simple line with straight tubes and elbows?
Is it any difference if my loop goes from comressor down then up, or up then straight to cond?
2) At suction line (at connection with compressor) do I have to put an elbow to lift a little bit pipe(or can I connect it without lifting), than down and then again up to evap? I haven't yet decided about reciver, but I will use solenoid valve,I think. Thank you :)
