How to Use This Table
- Find the pipe diameter: Identify the outer diameter of your concrete pipe.
- Look up the estimated lay flat width: This value is the circumference of the pipe when laid flat.
- Use in construction planning: This value helps in transportation, formwork, and sheet cutting calculations.
How is Lay Flat Width Calculated?
The formula used: Lay Flat Width=π×Diameter\text{Lay Flat Width} = \pi \times \text{Diameter}Lay Flat Width=π×Diameter
Where:
- Diameter = The outer diameter of the concrete pipe.
- π\piπ (Pi) ≈ 3.1416.
Key Takeaways
- Larger diameters result in greater lay flat widths.
- Common construction diameters range from 100mm to 1000mm.
- Concrete pipe dimensions affect transport, handling, and cutting layouts.
- The lay flat width is equivalent to the pipe’s outer circumference.
