Outside diameter in mm to nominal pipe size
Type a value in mm OD to get it in NPS instantly.
≈1NPS
That's about the same as a 1" gas line.
Convert the other way: NPS to mm OD
What it means
How big is that pipe?
Steel pipe to ASME B36.10 / ISO 6708. The outside diameter is the same for every schedule; the wall, and so the bore, changes. Copper tube and PVC have their own sizes.
The math
How to convert mm OD to NPS
Pipe sizes are a table: NPS 2 = DN 50 = 60.3 mm (2.375 in) OD, NPS 4 = DN 100 = 114.3 mm. From NPS 14 the OD equals the NPS in inches.
Example: 33.4 mm OD = ≈1 NPS.
