Seamless Tubing
is manufactured using a process called "extrusion". During this process a solid steel bar is pierced through the centre using a die, turning the solid round into a round tube. There are two different ways of producing this: Cold Drawn Seamless: Good surface finish - Superior machinability - Increased dimensional tolerances - High strength to weight ratio Hot Finished Tubing: Cost effective material - Good Machinability - Wide range of sizes

Fixture Unit
(as applying to drainage systems) means the unit of measure based on the rate of discharge, time of operation and frequency of use ofa fixture that expresses the hydraulic load that is imposed by that fixture on the drainage system. Professor Roy Hunter in the early 1940's derived from his research that 1 fixture unit was equal to 1cu Ft. of water to be discharged in a11/4 inch pipe in a 60 second period at 2f. per sec velocity. The time allowed was calculated from the start of the flush to a point 5f. from the weir, where the air enters the fixture branch.
