How are PVC tubes measured?

PVC Pipe sizes are so named by the measurement of the inside diameter (also called the bore) of the PVC pipe, and not the outside diameter. If you measure the outside diameter it will give you a larger reading than the actual PVC Pipe Size.

What sizes does PVC pipe come in MM?

PVC pipe class E

Size OD (mm) ID (mm)
1 1/2 inch pvc pipe 48.3 42.1
2 inch pvc pipe 60.3 52.5
2 1/2 inch pvc pipe 75.2 64.0
3 inch pvc pipe 88.9 77.5

Is PVC diameter ID or OD?

PVC Pipe is identified by the Inside Diameter (ID) of the pipe. This measurement is known as ‘Nominal’ which means in-name-only, or a referenced name.

How is pipe size measured?

OD and Nominal Pipe Size Tubing is measured by the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O.D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″). Pipe is usually measured by NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS). Although it is related to the outside diameter, it is significantly different.

What size is 2 inch pipe in MM?

60.3 mm
Different Dimensioning Standards For example, the actual diameter of a pipe that has a nominal bore of two inches isn’t exactly two inches or 50.8 millimeters, but 2.37″ or 60.3 mm.

How do you measure pipe mm?

To find it, measure around the circumference of the pipe with flexible measuring tape. Divide the circumference by pi, or about 3.14159. For example, if the circumference is 12.57 inches (319 mm), you would divide by pi, and get an outside diameter of about 4 inches (100 mm).

What is difference pipe and tube?

Tubes can come in different shapes such as square, rectangular and cylindrical, whereas piping is always round. The circular shape of the pipe makes the pressure force evenly distributed. Pipes accommodate larger applications with sizes that range from a ½ inch to several feet.
