I've just excavated around the existing manhole, which is to eventually be moved, in my garden and have found it to be salt glazed socketed pipe work. I have measured the outer diameter of the pipes, which is difficult enough to get accurate, and have measured it to 200mm or so.
My question is, what would you guys suggest would be the imperial sizing of this pipe? 6" or 8"? Do they work with inner or outer diameter? When I replace the pipe I'll be using vitrified clay I think. So the next question is what would be the current sizing I would need to replace the existing pipe?
edit : To add, the pipe work is almost certainly thick wall.
