Missing .028??

I'm looking at my tubing catalog and see 3/4"(.750) having a wall
thickness of .028 and an ID of .694. Now .694 + .028 = .722. I seem to
have lost .028 somewhere!

Anyone have an insight? - Mike

You need to check your math. When you figure it out, you need to cancel
your post, if possible.

I read this post right after getting the below email...

Such good timing...


IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD:





I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call
the local township administrative office to request the removal of the
Deer Crossing sign on our road.
The reason:
"Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!
I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

IDIOT SIGHTING:





I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport

"Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?
To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I
know?"
He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."

IDIOT SIGHTING:





The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the
street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing
driving?!"

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker.
She was leaving the company due to "downsizing."
Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this
more often."
Not another word was spoken.
We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights
stare.
This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING:





When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick
up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively
tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I
announced to the technician, "its open!"
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

Anyone have an insight?

0.75" tubing has two walls of thickness 0.028" and one ID of
0.694" inside one OD of .750"

Well for the sake of either pedantry or jocularity I'll point out
that it only has ONE wall of thickness 0.028".

The Outside Diameter of the tubing crosses that wall twice.

OK, Maybe it's a wooden tube and was measured green.

Hey, c'mon, guys. This was an easy mistake to make. Who among us hasn't
done something similar?
