In lamp parts, 1/8 IPS (Iron Pipe Size) refers to a specific standardized threading size commonly used in lamp construction. The term "IPS" comes from pipe threading standards, and "1/8" designates the size of the thread diameter. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- 1/8 IPS thread is actually 3/8 inch (0.375 inches) in diameter.
- It has 27 threads per inch (TPI), meaning there are 27 ridges or threads along each inch of the threading.
- This threading size is often used for parts like lamp pipes, rods, nipples, and other lamp hardware that need to connect securely to the lamp's structure.
