79. What is the Engagement Length for 75mm Cat Iron Pipe? 68mm or 2 ¾”

80 to 82. (3 Points)

From the figure below, find the number and length of cast iron pipe required using 75mm
(3”) diameter. (Use 150cm pipe standard)
From the figure below, find the number and length of cast iron pipe required using 75mm
(3”) diameter. (Use 150cm pipe standard)

a. The length of face distance is 360cm + (6.8cm+6.8cm) for 2 end engagement length =
(360+13.6) = 373.6cm

b. To get the no. of pipes. Divide total length by the effective L

373.6/(150-6.8) = 373.6/143.2 = 2.61 Pipes

c. Therefore, the pipes required base on 2.61 pipes

2 pieces (75mm dia.) x 150cm = 300cm

I piece (75mm dia.) x (0.61x150) = 91.5

Total length base on 150cm standard is 391.5cm

83 to 86. (4 Points)

Determined the quantity of oakum and lead in kilograms required for a drainage installation
with the following joint.

8 joint of 100mm pipe

14 joints of 50mm pipe having 20mm lead packing

a. Refer to table

Oakum: 8 joints (100mm) x 0.15 = 1.20 kg

14 joints (50mm) x 0.05 = 0.70 kg

b. Refer to table

Lead: 8 joints (100mm) x 1.0 = 8.0 kg

14 joints (50mm) x 0.5 = 7.0 kg
87 to 88. (2 Points)

Determine the length of galvanized steel pipe required to connect the installation using 38mm
pipe as per below
a. Say length of face distance is 430cm refer to table under 38mm pipe size (screwed pipe
length is 1.6cm)

Total pipe length is 430cm+1.6cm+1.6cm = 433.2cm

89 to 91. (3 Points)

Determine the amount of Teflon tape required for the following number of pipes and fittings
connection specifying 5 rounds per joint

For 12mm dia. pipes = 32 joints

For 20mm dia. pipes = 24 joints
For 25mm dia. pipes = 20 joints

For 12mm dia. pipes = 32 joints x 0.335m= 10.72m

For 20mm dia. pipes = 24 joints x 0.415m= 9.96m
For 25mm dia. pipes = 20 joints x 0.565m= 11.30m
Total teflon tape = 31.98 meters
