1/8 or 1/4?

I hear everyone saying the isspros have 1/8th inch pyro and boost taps, and my invoice syas I got an 1/8inch thermocouple and boost, but they look bigger than 1/8" where do they get the 1/8" from inside diameter, my supposedly 1/8" thermocouple is more like 1/4" outside diameter? EXPLAIN!

Shovel is right, all pipe thread is measure by the inside diameter of the pipe.

Untill you reach 14"...then it is the outside diameter

1/8'' Pipe tap drill size is a letter "R" drill or .339 dia.
You probably don't have a "R" drill but a .344 11/32 is close enough

side by side, 1/4 NPT and 1/8 NPT look close, but there is a difference. If in doubt, buy an 1/8 X 1/4 Reducer bushing and tap it 1/4".
