Industry:Energy
The average specified diameter of a pipe divided by the minimum specified wall thickness. NOTE: Each pipe can have two dimension ratios depending on whether the outside or inside diameter is used. In practice, the outside diameter is used if the standard requirement and manufacturing control are based on this diameter. The inside diameter is used when this measure is the controlling one.
Industry:Energy
The practice of applying acids to the walls of oil and gas wells to remove any material which obstructs the entrance of fluids. Also used in carbonate formations, such as limestone, to increase porosity.
Industry:Energy
