One of my pet peeves that has stuck with me since my downhole tool days, is properly calling out pipe sizes.
Every time I hear someone say " 2 3/8 pipe or 2 7/8 pipe" its like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I just thought some of you might be interested in this info.
Most pipe is roughly measured in I.D. at standard thickness up until 14" pipe. I say roughly because you wont find a 2" pipe measuring 2" anywhere, but all 2" pipe is 2 3/8 OD.
If you find a peace of pipe that doesn't match this chart, then you have a peace of tubing, not pipe.
