E faʻaaogaina le paipa e felauaiga vai ma kesi i le tele o pneumatic, hydraulic, ma faʻagaioiga talosaga.O fa'agaau e masani ona fa'a po'o fa'atusa, ae atonu e lapotopoto, fa'afa'afa'afa, po'o sikuea sikuea.O le paipa e fa'amaoti mai i tulaga o le lautele i fafo (OD) ma, fa'alagolago i mea o lo'o fau ai, pe ma'a'a pe fe'avea'i.E tele ituaiga autu o oloa.O paipa uʻamea e faia i le alumini, apamemea, apamemea, apamemea, uʻamea, uʻamea uʻamea, poʻo uʻamea taua.O paipa palasitika e faia i le ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), polyamides, polyethylene (PE), polyolefin, polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride, poʻo le polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).O paipa paʻu e faia i mea faʻapitoa e pei ole polyisoprene poʻo mea faʻapipiʻi e pei ole silicone.O ipu tioata ma le quartz e masani ona maua.O paipa eletise ua mamanuina e aofia ai uaea ma faʻaitiitia ai lamatiaga e mafua mai i lamatiaga eletise.O paipa fiberglass e le mafai ona fa'afefe i le tele o mea'ai ma talafeagai mo le vevela tele.O paipa fa'ainisinia e aofia ai vaega fa'alava malolosi ma ua mamanuina mo fa'aoga fa'atulagaina.O paipa fa'afoma'i e masani ona fa'amama ma e la'ititi le lautele.

O le filifilia o paipa e mana'omia ai se au'ili'iliga o fua, fa'amatalaga fa'atinoga, opacity, fa'ai'uga ma le ita.Ua fa'amaoti fa'amau i iunite fa'a-Peretania e pei o inisi (i) po'o ni vaega ninii o le inisi, po'o iunite fa'atusa e pei ole millimita (mm) po'o senitimita (cm).O totonu o le lautele (ID) o se paipa's fua pito i totonu.O le lautele o fafo (OD) o se paipa's fua pito pito i fafo.O le mafiafia o le puipui o le isi lea mea taua e mafaufau i ai.O fa'amatalaga fa'atinoga mo paipa fa'apisinisi e aofia ai le fa'avasegaina o le mamafa, le maualuga o le gaogao (pe a talafeagai), le maualuga o le pi'o, ma le vevela.I le tulaga o le opacity, o nisi o paipa e manino pe translucent.O isi e malo pe tele-lanu.O le fa'aiila po'o le pikiina e maua ai se fa'ai'uga pupula.O paipa galvanized o loʻo ufiufi i le zinc mo le faʻaleleia atili o le pala.O le valiina, faʻapipiʻi, ma le faʻapipiʻiina o isi auala masani faʻamaeʻaina.E fa'aleleia atili le fa'aogaina o masini e ala i le aveesea o le mamafa fa'ainisinia ma le suia o le ga'o.O paipa afa-malo e gaosia i le Rockwell maaa o le 70 i le 85 i luga ole fua B mo le sila.O paipa malosi atoa o loʻo faʻapipiʻiina i se Rockwell maʻaʻa o le 84 ma maualuga atu i lenei fua tutusa.

E ese le paipa i tulaga o foliga, fa'aoga, ma mea e feavea'i.O nisi o paipa e viliina, fa'aulu, fa'a'au'au, fa'asa-pa, fa'au'u, fa'a-elemene po'o fa'apipi'i.O isi e fa'amalosia, e tete'e i aloiafi, fa'amama, fa'alelei, uelo, po'o le uelo ma tusi.O paipa fa'amoemoe lautele e talafeagai mo fa'aoga eseese.O oloa faʻapitoa e faʻaaogaina i le vateatea, taʻavale, vailaʻau, cryogenic, gaosiga o meaʻai, maualuga le mama, maualuga le vevela, maualuga viscosity, fomaʻi, vailaʻau ma petrochemical talosaga.Faʻalagolago i le faʻaogaina, faʻaogaina faʻaulu fale gaosi oloa e felauaiga coolants, vai hydraulic, vai masima, slurries, po o vai.O paipa slurry ua fa'amauina e tetee atu i le abrasion e feso'ota'i ma lona felauaiga.
