The Gizmologist's Lair

Oddly, there is nothing about a ½" pipe that is ½", be it copper, iron, or PVC. The outside diameter of copper is 5/8", and the inner diameter is either 0.527", 0.545", or 0.569", depending on the series. So-called ½" iron pipe is 0.840" outside diameter and 0.622" inside. PVC is the same outside as cast iron, but it is 0.608", 0.528", or 0.480" inside. If no dimension is ½", why call it ½" pipe?>>
