In Reply to: Strength of pipe?? posted by dave2 on December 13, 2009 at 05:09:32:
It ought to be plenty strong enough if you cross brace it considering your only going 6'x4'. 1/8'' = .125 wall, which, if 2'' o.d. should be roughly 2.5 pounds per foot pipe. Since you said galvanized it is most likely seamed pipe, using the weakest standard grade listed in the API manual and a 20% safety factor the collapse is still over 1800 pounds per square inch. Pipe cannot bend without first yielding internally or collapsing although it may be nearly unnoticeable. If you are interested in a straight dump why not put your pivot points straight to the axle, offset from center and put a trip latch on the tounge, let gravity do the work, although one problem would be you could not unhook from it when loaded unless you put a block under the back of the wagon bed.
