I'm seeing pipe which measure 1.25" outer diameter. Is this the same as
what I call 1" pipe?

Hi,
Is one equal to one and quarter? No.

Pipe with 1" I.D. might very well measure 1.25" O.D.

Pipe sizes are usually given based on I.D.

In fact, due to the high price of copper, you'll find that current 1/2
inch copper tubing is slightly more than 1/2" ID, because they are
making the walls thinner to save material, but still need it to be
compatible with standard fittings and older plumbing.

Another example is 1" PVC pipe, which is 1" I.D. and 1-5/8" O.D.

OP-

wow...you sure have gotten a range of replies but to address your
original question

"I'm seeing pipe which measure 1.25" outer diameter. Is this the
same as

well....it depends. what job is this "pipe" doing? what is the
apparent material? and how did you measure the OD? (tape?
circumferential wrap? caliper?)

If it is truly "pipe" ...... there is no standard Imperial sized pipe
having an OD of 1.25". Maybe your measurement is lacking in
accuracy?

One inch pipe has an OD of 1.315" (pretty close to 1 5/16").


Pretty much all pipe (brass, aluminum, steel, stainless, PVC) have
precise agreed upon OD specs such that threaded fittings can be used
on OD of pipe, independent of pipe schedule.

3/4" pipe 1.049" OD
1" pipe 1.315" OD
1 1/4" pipe 1.660" OD

Yes http://www.pipemarkers.com/pipe-data.html

Pipe as commonly known as pipe it would be measure ID steel, brass,copper,
aluminum, ETC.
Tubing known as tubing it is always measure OD regardless of material is
made of.
Copper tubing comes in three thickness but the OD remain same.
Electrical Pipe it is also measure in ID. Note; but EMT is measure in OD.
