[FTC]: Ring It Up Field Walkthrough with 5454

@Andrew

For those PVC pipe pieces... the 1" measurement... is that inside diameter or outside diameter? Hoping you know since you've had some hands-on time with the new FTC field. I was thinking that was outside diameter of the PVC. Haven't had a chance to visit Lowe's across yet though! Thank you.

In pipe, 1" is a nominal diameter and neither the inside nor outside measure at 1".

The outside diameter of 1" Schedule 40 PVC is 1.315".

Six combined years of coaching FRC and FTC, and I never really noticed that PVC pipe 'sizes' don't match the inside OR the outside...

Thanks for the clarification Madison! At least now I'll be sure the pipe in the "1 inch" bin at the store is the right stuff for each field element.
