No, pipe is not measured by inside diameter. Pipe is also measured in
outside diameter. However, the pipe comes in a nominal "iron pipe size"
that corresponds to a specific outside diameter that is different from the
nominal size. For example, 2 inch iron pipe size has an outside
diameter of 2 3/8 inch. The inside diameter varies depending on
which schedule is used, but never equals 2 inches.
