i need help too, i can't figure out why the outer diameter would change anything because isn't that only the pipe wall width which only changes the strength of the pipe???

edit: i think i got it, the outer diameter is the inner diameter of your chamber and the inner diameter is the width of your valve input

new edit: i looked on the website and acctually the inner diameter is only for coaxial meanin the outer width of the tube inside the chamber.

newer edit: benstern beat me too the punch

Inter diameter is only used if you have a coaxel cannon. Just put the inter diameter (exact not nominal size) of you chamber in the Outer Diam box.

If you were to go to the "other" section of this site, then to "pipe info", you could find out the pipe dimensions.
