Pipe Types and Standard Sizes

PIPE SIZES FOR DIFFERENT
PIPE TYPES

How Pipe material & type affects the outside diameter: In the field of engineering, there are many and varied materials & types of pipes used, each with their own unique credentials, and often with their own sizing. This results in some confusion in the industry around the outside diameter of piping, and the sizing of required pipe supports.

We have outlined the dimensions of 10 of the more common pipe materials in the chart below.
As a manufacturer of pipe supports we can cater for all sizes, in all materials.
