   Standard Nominal English Sizes:      English sizes are approximations of the pipe size. Smaller pipes have an internal diameter (ID) roughly approximate to the nominal size. Larger pipes match the outside diameter (OD) more closely. Refer to the table below for some actual dimensions for selected nominal sizes.

Material
Pipe is manufactured in a wide variety of materials; only some choices are represented here.  Select "Other" for pipe constructed with specific materials not listed below.



   Material       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   ABS
 
     Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a hard, rigid, thermoplastic polymer. It provides good chemical and creep resistance, and offers dimensional stability. ABS is used in many industries and in a wide variety of applications. Generally inexpensive, ABS is prone to crack when under stress. Common trade names include Cyclolac® (GE Plastics), Lustran® (Bayer) and Novodur® (Bayer).
 
   Aluminum
 
     Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
 
   Brass
 
     Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, often with additional elements such as lead or tin. Brass is characterized by good strength, excellent high-temperature ductility, and reasonable cold ductility. It has good electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion-resistance, good bearing properties, and low magnetic permeability.
 
   Bronze
 
     Bronze is an alloy of copper with other elements such as aluminum, silicon or tin (i.e., aluminum bronze, silicon bronze, tin bronze).
 
   Carbon / Graphite
 
     Carbon or graphite has an extremely high melting point and is resistant to many molten non-ferrous metals, ceramics and salts. Carbon pipe is used in chemical manufacturing, in heat treating furnaces, in non-ferrous metal production, and by the ceramic industry.
 
   Ceramic / Ceramic-lined
 
     Ceramic and ceramic-lined materials are made of metal oxides, carbides, nitrides, or combinations of these compounds. Typically, ceramics are formed from powders that are consolidated in a high-temperature firing process. Most ceramics resist high temperatures and chemicals, but have low electrical and thermal conductivity.
 
   Clay / Vitrified Clay
 
     Vitrified clay is composed of crushed and blended clays that are fired at a succession of temperatures to provide excellent strength and a glossy finish. General characteristics include resistance to internal and external chemical corrosion, abrasion, and heat. Vitrified clay is used in many industrial applications, most notably as tile or piping.
 
   Concrete
 
     Concrete is a composite of cement, sand, and aggregate. Frequently, additives are used to enhance qualities such as strength or water resistance. Often, concrete pipe is used for large-scale infrastructure applications due to its strength and durability.
 
   CPVC
 
     Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a common, versatile pipe material. CPVC shares many of the same advantages and uses as PVC, but typically carries higher temperature ratings.
 
   EPDM
 
     Ethylene propylene (EPDM) offers good resistance to sunlight, weathering, and ozone. EPDM has poor resistance to petroleum oils and fuel, but good heat resistance and compression-set resistance. Its suggested operating temperatures are -70° to 275° F. Trade names for EPDM include Nordel® (Dupont Dow Elastomers), Vistalon® (Exxon Mobil Chemical), Epsyn® (DSM Elastomers), Royalene® (Uniroyal Chemical), and Epcar® (B.F. Goodrich).
 
   Fiberglass / Composite
 
     Fiberglass-reinforced plastics are the largest class of composites used in pipe manufacturing. Other composites used in pipe and tube-forming for chemical and structural applications include graphite, aramid fiber-reinforced plastics, and aluminum-plastic composites.
 
   PFA Fluororesin
 
     Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is used in applications with temperature requirements of 500°F (250°C). PFA exhibits very good chemical-resistance and dielectric properties.
 
   Glass / Glass-lined
 
     Glass and glass-lined materials have properties such as smoothness, nonconductivity, relative inertness, and resistance to acids and other corrosive media. The chemical resistance of glass makes it suitable for many chemical-processing applications.
 
   Iron (Gray / Cast)
 
     The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with varying amounts of carbon and silicon. Gray cast iron incorporates the graphite form of carbon in a flaky structure within the iron. Because of its durability and excellent corrosion-resistance, cast iron has been widely used in pipes and fittings for hundreds of years in both water and wastewater applications.
 
   Iron (Ductile)
 
     Ductile iron is a form of cast iron that incorporates significant casting refinements, additional metallurgical processes, and superior quality control. Post-casting heat treatment nodulizes the graphite into spheroidal shapes, giving ductile iron greater elongation, impact strength, and toughness than gray cast iron. In fact, the properties of ductile iron resemble those of steel more closely than traditional gray cast iron. 

Ductile iron retains the machinability of gray iron, and its high corrosion resistance is often enhanced with polyethylene (PE) encasement. Ductile iron is sometimes called "nodular iron" or "S.G. iron".
 
   Lead
 
     Lead pipe is used in chemical, nuclear, and other applications.  Lead is noted for its durability, versatile formability, economy, and ability to deform plastically, thereby avoiding catastrophic failure. Environmental regulations govern the use of lead pipe in some water-supply applications. 
 
   Neoprene / Rubber / Elastomer
 
     Neoprene is the most common of several elastomeric products used in pipe fabrication. A synthetic rubber, neoprene resists degradation from sun, ozone, and weather. Neoprene also performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals. It remains useful over a wide range of temperatures, displays outstanding physical toughness, and resists burning inherently better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers. Neoprene also offers resistance to damage caused by flexing and twisting. Its suggested operating temperature is -45° to 230° F.
 
   Nylon / Polyamide
 
     Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general- purpose material in wide use. It is tough and resistant to most oils, gasoline, etc., and has good pressure ratings.
 
   Polyethylene (PE, HDPE)
 
     Polyethylene or PE (including high-density polyethylene or HDPE) is a semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque, commodity thermoplastic that is soft, flexible and tough - even at low temperatures - with outstanding electrical properties. Polyethylene has very good chemical resistance, but has poor temperature resistance and is prone to environmental stress-cracking. PE has poor ultraviolet (UV) resistance unless modified, and poor barrier properties - except to water.
 
   Polypropylene (PP)
 
     Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic material with excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. PP is similar to PVC, but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone.
 
   PTFE / PTFE-Lined
 
     Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon® (DuPont). This selection includes pipes that use PTFE as the primary material, or are lined with PTFE.
 
   PVC
 
     Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely-used material with good flexibility, a smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Because PVC is inert, some grades are used in food and chemical processing.
 
   Steel - Carbon and Alloy
 
     This is a generic classification for general-purpose carbon steel, mild steel, and steel alloys that contain additions of chrome, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, or other elements to alter hardenability characteristics, toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, and/or strength. Typically, "black pipe" is made of carbon steel.
 
   Steel - Stainless
 
     Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. This selection includes all grades of stainless steel.
 
   Titanium
 
     Commercially pure (CP) titanium piping provides excellent corrosion resistance and is an important choice for some chemical-processing applications. Typically, CP titanium provides better corrosion-resistance and formability, but lower strength than alpha-beta titanium alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V.
 
   Zirconium
 
     Because of its outstanding corrosion resistance, zirconium is an important refractory metal for nuclear power generation and chemical processing applications. Zirconium’s low neutron absorption cross-section makes it a good choice for components and fuel supports (tubes) in nuclear reactors.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, proprietary or specialized materials.
