Steel pipe, like welded steel pipe, is of great importance in transporting water, gas, oil and so forth. There are various kinds of pipes both at home and abroad. To find the right diameter of the pipe is important since wrong diameter of steel pipe will make it difficult to accomplish your task, so you need to find a proper one from the plumbing store actually.

Many people do not know how to meaure the pipe diameter, right? First of all, you should prepare tape measures. You'd better bring a piece of the old pipe if you are replacing pipe rather than building with new pipe. To bring a piece of old pipe can provide reference when you buying new pipe.

Second, place your steel pipe vertically with one end facing upward and the other end on a flat surface. It is true that no one want to worry about the shifting while measuring the pipe or hold up the pipe actually.

Third, measure the inside diameter of the steel pipe by placing the end of your tape measure against the inside of the steel pipe actually. As we all know, there are both interior and outside pipe diameter that should be measured. When measuring the inside diameter of steel pipe, there is no need to include the material the pipe is made of. What should be measured is the space inside the pipe, but not for the entirety of the pipe actually.

Fourth, to ensure that the diameter of the pipe is same, you should measure another end of the pipe. You are advised to write down the measurement since it can be the right reference for you when you buying stee pipe.
