Here is some more information about steel products such as steel pipe and tubing.
How to measure pipe?Steel pipes: steel pipes are needed mainly for all different functions in construction. If you have never purchased steel pipes before however, there can be some confusion on how to measure steel pipe as well as how to identify the correct type of steel pipe that you need for a project. To measure steel pipe you will go with the inside diameter (ID) measurement and round off to the nearest eighth of an inch. You can also measure the outside circumference of a pipe and provide details based off of that measurement. Be certain to include socket gaps if you are purchasing pipes for plumbing purposes.
How to measure tubing?
Tubing products: tubing is also something that can be used in construction and has a wide variety of mechanical applications. Ordering tubing for raw materials can be a confusing process for a beginner and you need to know how to measure it before you can order tubing correctly. In ordering tubing you should measure the steel tubing by taking the outside diameter (OD) from exterior to exterior of the pipe. The industry standard for tubing is to measure the outside diameter of the tube and then provide measurements for the length of the tube. You should ask extra questions as to the tube thickness especially if you are going to be joining pieces of the tubing together.
