Nominal Pipe Size Chart for Piping Designers


Pipe size image
This handy chart offers a quick reference between imperial and metric pipe sizes.  This is a really handy chart for Piping Designers, and I have this printed out, cut down to size, and taped to my monitor.  That way I always have the sizes handy when I need them.  After some time you end up memorizing most of them, but there are always a few that you don't use often enough to commit to memory.
