What is the consequence of using a pipe with a wall thickness less than standard weight?

Using a pipe with a wall thickness that is less than standard weight can lead to compatibility issues with heavy pressure. Standard weight pipes are designed to withstand specific pressures based on their wall thickness. A thinner wall may not provide the necessary strength and structural integrity to handle high pressure situations, resulting in the risk of failure, rupture, or collapse under stress.

This difference in wall thickness can significantly reduce the pipe's ability to maintain its integrity when exposed to increased pressure, which can lead to safety hazards in applications where pressure is a critical factor. Ensuring that the correct pipe specifications are used is vital to prevent these potentially dangerous situations caused by inadequate materials.
