   My dial calipers indicate a variation of .01" between largest and smallest diameter on a stick of USA-made black 3/4" iron pipe. The average diameter is 1.063", just a hair under 1-1/16".

   Some of the Chinese product is much less round than the piece I measured.

   Sure sounds like it at first, but it would be the same as asking how big is a 2x4 or how thick is a sheet of 3/4" plywood.

   Sorry that 1/32" went the same place where the missing 1/4 oz of whiskey went when a "fifth" became a 750ml.
   The commie metric guys got it.
   Plywood is metric now. 1/2 is 12mm 3/4 is 18mm.
   I bet that "3/4 pipe" is 27mm or 28mm O/D and 18mm ID. Like it or not the global economy is going to drag us kicking and screaming into a metric world whether we like it or not.
   Bye Bye the 2x4, hello 35x80 and too bad if it is a little smaller.

   ####, it's even worse than I thought.There are 25.4mm/inch so 18/25.4 = .70866 inches (in decimal)Convert that back to 32nds .70866 * 32 = 22.67712So what was 24/32 is now 22 2/3 / 32nds. They ROUND UP to 23. We've lost 1 1/3 32nd/s which is 4% less wood than before, not 3%.Dang.

   As long as we're on the subject, how long is a while?

   MikeRyan | Dec 03, 2008 10:16pm | #12

   A little longer than "a bit", but not as long as "for some time"

   It depends upon the definition of the word "is"
