A handy reference... in cubic inches




Like many others the "grading" of pipe, eg by Dunhill, is hard to understand, because the grade does not truly correlate with the volume of the chamber. Seems most pipe's bowl chambers are typically between 0.6 and 1 inch in diameter (with 0.75 common), but to various depths. Ergo, they are hard to compare.

Found this chart somewhere. Whether it helps or not...

I've noticed that myself not many sites tell you the depth of the chamber.

I wouldn't buy a pipe without knowing it's dimensions. Most sites I go to do but on the odd occasion that I find one that doesn't an ebay check or google normally works.
