Re: Pipe/Tubing Fit

My materials prof loves talking about this. Basically, you can get 2 of the 3, but not all three. OD and thickness means you get a minimum wall thickness all the way around, but the inside can end up kind of wavy. I definitely wouldn't expect it to hold a .005 tolerance without some machining. But then, I'm still an engineering student, so I could be wrong.
