Asbestos cement pipe was made in many different sizes. The two types of Asbestos cement pipe are rough and machined. Currently the sizing of AC (Asbestos Cement Pipe) is divided into three classifications. The three classes are Class 100, Class 150, and Class 200. Standard AC sizes are 3", 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", 24". A decent reference page for the OD sizing of machined and rough barrel pipe is available at the related link, below, giving a pipe outer diameter chart.
