Ububanzi bangaphandle bepayipi elingenamthungo eligoqwe ngokushisa ngokuvamile bukhulu kuno-32mm, kanti ubukhulu bodonga bungu-2.5-200mm. Ububanzi bangaphandle bepayipi lensimbi elingenamthungo eligoqwe ngokushisa bungafinyelela ku-6mm, kanti ubukhulu bodonga bungafinyelela ku-0.25mm. Ububanzi bangaphandle bepayipi elinezindonga ezincane bungafinyelela ku-5mm kanti ubukhulu bodonga bungaphansi kuka-0.25mm.

Ipayipi lensimbi elingenamthungo elisetshenziswa kakhulu lenziwe ngensimbi eboshwe ngekhabhoni engu-10, 20, 30, 35, 45 kanye nezinye izinsimbi eziboshwe ngekhabhoni ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezingu-16Mn, 5MnV kanye nezinye izinsimbi ezihlanganisiwe eziphansi noma ezingu-40Cr, 30CrMnSi, 45Mn2, 40MnB kanye nezinye izinsimbi eziboshwe ezigoqwe ngokushisayo noma ezibandayo. Ipayipi elingenamthungo eli-10, 20 kanye nezinye izinsimbi ezihlanganisiwe eziphansi lekhabhoni lisetshenziswa kakhulu kumapayipi amanzi. I-45, 40Cr kanye nezinye izinsimbi eziphakathi zekhabhoni ezenziwe ngepayipi elingenamthungo ukukhiqiza izingxenye zemishini, njengezimoto, izingxenye ezicindezelwe ngogandaganda. Ukusetshenziswa okuvamile kwepayipi lensimbi elingenamthungo ukuqinisekisa amandla kanye nokuhlolwa kokuthamba. Amapayipi ensimbi agoqwe ngokushisayo alethwa esimweni esigoqwe ngokushisayo noma esiphathwe ngokushisa. Ukulethwa okugoqwe ngokubandayo kuphathwa ngokushisa.
