Just my personal opinion......

These examples are nominal pipe sizes...........made for memory challenged engineers like me......

I would hate to talk to somebody about ordinary pipe sizes and spit........0.527", 0.545", or 0.569"........

0.608", 0.528", or 0.480"...........then specify id or od..........how about schedule numbers while we're at it !!!!!!

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?>>
