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.

The "How Many Wires in PVC Conduit" chart typically accommodates up to 9 wires in a PVC conduit.
Typically, only one 12/2 wire can fit in a 1/2 inch conduit.
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.
In a 3/4 conduit, you can fit up to three 12/2 wires.

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.
