- For a pipe of circular cross section, its nominal diameter is the diameter of the cross section.
- The inner diameter is the measuring on the inside of the pipe
- The outside diameter is the measuring on the outside of the pipe.

What is the diameter of an 8 inch pipe?
The inside diameter (ID) is 8 inches. The nominal pipe size (NPS) and outside diameter (OD) depend on the thickness of the walls of the pipe.
What is the inside diameter of 0.75 inch pipe?
Three-quarter inch diameter pipe refers to the outside diameter. Different pipe types of the same outside diameter usually have different inside diameters. ASTM SCH 40 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.824 inches. ASTM CL 200 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.930 inches because of the thinner wall.
What is the inside diameter of 54 steel pipe?
That would depend on the wall thickness of the pipe. 54 inches is the outside diameter so subtract the pipe wall thickness (x2) adn you have the inside diameter.
How do you calculate radius from pipe diameter?
diameter = 2 * radius
Do you use inside diameter or outside diameter when calculating the area of a pipe?
When dealing with pipe the volume is more important, therefore, I would use the inside diameter.
