Not of the barb part, but of the NPT part. You see there are two different parts of a Male threaded NPT Hose Barb. Both parts can have independednt sizes. For instance you can have a 1/4" NPT 3/8" Barb. What that is is a fitting with 1/4" Male NPT threads on one side and a 3/8" Barb to accept Hose on the other. The ID of the Threaded part will be around 1/4"+. The barb side will accept 3/8" ID hose, and its internal diameter will be slightly less than 3/8".
