You can fit approximately 9 number 12 THHN wires into a half inch conduit. It's important to follow the National Electrical Code rules for conduit fill to ensure proper installation and safety.
The electrical code book provides a chart for conduit fill. The same size conductors have different types and thickness's of insulation which has to be taken into account on wire fill calculations. 1" or 27 mm conduit can carry the following amount of RW90 insulated conductors.25 - #14, 19 - #12, 14 - #10, 7 - #8, 10 - #6, 4 - #4, 3 - #3, 3 - #2,and 1 - #1.
1 inch= 2.54 centimeters
One inch equals one inch.
There are 0.0254 meters in an inch.

9-10, but the conduit may not exceed a certain length, or a certain voltage in order for you to "legally" do it. Many applications allow for conduit fill ratio's that exceed the standards of the NEC ( National Electrical Code) and most of them are short (less than 24") "chases" between control devices mounted in listed Junction boxes for that purpose. It is not advisable to fill a conduit more than the NEC allows for purposes of heat dissipation.
The simple answer to your question is yes. But there are limits to how many wires can be in any conduit, and the current carrying capacity of the conductors can be affected by distance, ambient temperature, and how many conductors are contained in the same conduit. Other things to consider are, Can you physically fit the wires in there? Would it be easier to run a new conduit? Do you have the manpower necessary to get the work done?
