Wall Thicknesses for pipes in Parts Lists in Pipe Networks

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how Autodesk came up with the wall thicknesses for pipes in their parts lists under pipe networks in Civil 3D? I found that for DIP the wall thicknesses for pipes was way greater than anything commercially available; and that for PVC the wall thicknesses were way thinner than what's commercially available.

Are most client's modifying these lists to conform to pipe specifications or ignoring these discrepencies?

Hi,

Since this is not an API / programming related question, you might get better response on what other users have to say about the preferred wall thickness when you post this to Civil 3D user group.

These values are normally market driven standards. Which GEO / market you work with ? If you could send more details including what's the pipe wall thickness used in your market area and where we can see those values are defined as standards etc., I can forward those details to Civil 3D product management team for their consideration.

Thanks,
