Question 1 of 27070

After a piece of pipe has been cut, a good shop practice to ream out the burr left in the pipe. This is done to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Burr formation on the inside edge of a cut pipe • Difference between internal flow issues vs. external threading operations • Purpose of reaming compared to tapering for threads

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Where does a threading die work on the pipe—on the inside or outside surface? • Think about what an internal burr would do to fluid moving through the pipe. • Consider whether reaming is normally used to shape the pipe for threads, or to clean up the cut.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether reaming affects the inside or outside of the pipe. • Decide if a burr is more likely to change thread shape or to interfere with internal flow. • Check which choice focuses on flow inside the pipe rather than on forming threads.
