2.375" Outside dimension. Plumbers use inside dimension, this would probably be a 2" pipe for them. This is an outdoor fencing application and this place refers to it's outside dimension because there are other vendors that make attachments that work on the outside of the pipe. Galv. steel pipe.

I actually understand the difference between tube and pipe measurments. I've just never been a fan of fractions in written sentences as it can lead to confusion. Really, just never been a fan of fractions. Not blaming you for US standards of measurment.

In plumbing, you find a 2" pipe and a 2" elbow. I would have assumed it translated the same in fencing so that a 2" post has a matching 2" fitting. It doesn't matter if 2" represents ID or OD, but within the same industry I would assume all measurements were applied the same.
