One may also ask, what is the diameter of PVC pipe? Wall Thickness The OD for 1/2" PVC pipe is 0.840" and the OD for 3" PVC pipe is 3.500". If the nominal size is the ID, then that means 1/2" PVC pipe walls are . 170" thick and 3" PVC pipe walls are 0.250" thick. The wall thickness continues increasing as the pipe gets larger.

Is PVC measured by ID or OD?

PVC Pipe is identified by the ID (Inside Diameter) and is referred to as a "nominal" size which means "in name only." However this confuses people and most novices try to use the OD (Outer Diameter) to order parts. If you do this, measure the OD of your pipe and find it the 2nd column of the chart below.

PVC Pipes that telescope in other pvc pipe.
MOST Sch 40/80 pipe will fit into the NEXT SIZE LARGER THINWALL (Class 200, SDR13. Any 1/4" sch 40/80 pipe will fit nicely into 1/2" Sch 80. Any 3/8" sch 40/80 pipe will fit loosely into 3/4" Sch 80 and pretty well into Class 315 1/2" pipe.

How do you measure pipe size?

Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:
  1. Wrap a string around the pipe.
  2. Mark the point where the string touches together.
  3. Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference)
  4. Divide the circumference by 3.14159.

What does Schedule 40 mean?

Nominal Pipe Size. Specific pipe is identified by pipe diameter and another non-dimensional number for wall thickness referred to as the Schedule (Sched. or Sch., for example – "2-inch diameter pipe, Schedule 40").

Does PVC pipe fit inside each other?

One of the real issues with Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) PVC pipe is that it was never designed to nest, or fit inside of each other. This bums a lot of people out because they usually want to have a larger size to telescope over a smaller size.

What are the different schedules of PVC pipe?

There are two common types of PVC pipe – schedule 40 PVC and schedule 80 PVC. Schedule 40 PVC is usually white in color and schedule 80 is usually a dark gray (they can also be found in other colors). Their most important difference, though, is in their design. Schedule 80 pipe is designed with a thicker wall.

How is schedule 40 pipe measured?

It works for both Schedule 40 (white) and Schedule 80 (gray) PVC pipe! To use the graphic above, first take a measuring tape and measure the diameter of the pipe at the center. This measurement should reach from the very edge of the outside of the pipe to the very edge of the opposite side.

Is pipe diameter internal or external?

In short: Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter. There is often confusion as to which size die the customer actually needs - Pipe Size or Tubing Size. Keep in mind that pipe size refers to a nominal - not actual - inside pipe diameter. Schedule refers to the pipe's wall thickness.

Is pipe size ID or OD?

OD and Nominal Pipe Size
Pipe is usually measured by NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS). Although it is related to the outside diameter, it is significantly different. For example, a 1-1/2″ pipe size actually has an outside diameter of 1.9″ NOT 1.5″.

Is nominal pipe size the inner diameter?

Nominal pipe size refers to only the outside diameter (OD) of a pipe making it somewhat vague. For example, when we say pipe size is 2 NPS, it refers to all the pipes having 2.375-inch (or 60.3 mm) as outside diameter irrespective of wall thickness and thus the inside diameter.

Is nominal pipe size OD or ID?

NPS – Nominal Pipe Size
NPS is not an OD or ID of the pipe it is in-between the outer and the inner diameter of the pipe but not exactly in the middle of it. For example, NPS 2 size pipe outside diameter is 60 mm or 2.375 inches.
