Tubing is measured by the ID;
Pipe is measured by the OD,
so 1-1/2 pipe will always be 1-1/2 OD but will have a smaller passage as
the schedule goes up. Schedule is the common nomenclature for ordering
pipe, i.e.: schedule 40, 80, 120. Tubing is reversed, ID remains constant
as wall thickness

Jim,
I think you've got it reversed.

Thanks for your answer, Jim. I think I've got it. (That stupid feeling has
left me). But now for the next question : what's the difference between pipe
tube ?

I LOVE this list !
Why? We keep contradicting ourselves!

Thanks for the lead Harry. By their definition, it would appear that NO
conclusions can be drawn as to actual ID or OD from nominal PIPE sizes. Using
their example, 1 1/2 schedule 40 pipe has an OD of 1.90 and an ID of 1.61.
Where's the inch and a half? (rhetorical question only). I think

Royce,
This is true of steel but copper and steel pipe have two different
standards. Copper pipe is _always_ 1/8 over nominal
things being equal.

I have a piece of boiler tubing from a kit 1 1/2 in outside diameter with a
wall thickness of about .035.
Royce,
Even if you did go to a thinner wall thickness (which would be
difficult because what you
So Harry, I can understand why a so-called 1 1/2 tubing would be 1 5/8 OD if
the tubing has a wall thickness of .0625. But are the other wall thicknesses
still 1 5/8 OD, letting the ID vary ? Seems an odd way of doing it. It would
seem that the ID is the most important characteristic of tubing

Yes, it does but the
It's so that the fittings will fit any thickness.

By varying the I.D., the O.D. remains the same and allows
all three series of nominal copper pipe (M, L, and DWV) to
share the same elbows, tees, reducers, etc.
Copper TUBING is another story...
