What Does Pipe Schedule Mean Pipe Size Chart and Pipe Schedule 40 Thickness PDF
The pipe Schedule describes the pipe wall thickness. With an increase in pipe schedule number pipe
thickness increases. The main function of the pipes is to carry fluid (liquid, gas, fluidized solids, slurry, mixed-phase
products, etc) under pressure (internal, external, or both), therefore to sustain the fluid pressure the pipe has to be
strong enough to perform its intended duty without failure. Obviously, for pipes containing pressurized fluids the wall
thickness, and by implication the pipe’s strength, is the most important parameter. The wall thickness of the Pipe is
expressed by “schedules or Schedule numbers“, referred to as pipe schedules or Piping Schedules.
SCH=1000*(P/S)
For any given pipe size and varying schedule numbers or thicknesses, its Outside Diameter (OD) remains constant
and its Internal Diameter (ID) varies. With an increase in thickness, the strength increases but its ID decreases. OD is
kept constant to help the support hardware design so that the same support hardware can be used for the same pipe
size (varying thicknesses).

Pipe Schedule numbers can be the same for different pipe sizes but that does not mean the pipe thickness is the
same. It may be the same or vary with respect to pipe sizes. For example, a 6-inch schedule 40 pipe has 7.11 mm
thickness, while an 8-inch Schedule 40 pipe has 8.18 mm thickness means thickness is increasing even though both
schedule 40.
The manufacture of pipe NPS 14 (DN 350) and larger proceeds on the basis of an OD corresponding to the nominal
size. So the OD in mm of a pipe NPS 14 or higher can easily be calculated by simply multiplying the NPS (here 14) by
25.4. But for lower sizes, the OD calculation is not so easy.

Standard (STD) is identical to SCH 40 up to NPS 10. All larger sizes of Standard (STD Schedule) have 9.53 mm
wall thicknesses.
Extra-Strong (XS) is identical to SCH 80 up to NPS 8. All larger sizes of Extra-Strong have 12.70 mm wall
thicknesses.
The double Extra Strong (XXS) wall is thicker than SCH 160 from NPS 1/8 to NPS 6, and SCH 160 is thicker
than the XXS wall for NPS 8 and larger.
With an increase in pipe thickness internal diameter of the pipe reduces as the pipe’s outer diameter remains
constant.
Pipe of sizes and wall thicknesses other than those of Standard, Extra-Strong, and Double Extra-Strong, and
Schedule Number were adopted from API Specification 5L.

A pipe size chart or pipe schedule chart is a tabular representation of pipe NPS and their thicknesses with respect to
various schedule numbers. The wall thickness associated with a particular schedule depends on the pipe size.
Dimensions (OD, ID, Thickness, and Schedule Number) and Weights of CS and SS pipes are given in the ASME
standards mentioned above. The tables in the respective codes are dimensionally complete for all sizes and wall
thicknesses within its scope, but some of the larger, heavier wall sections are beyond the capability of seamless mill
production and must be obtained from forged and bored billets or other sources.
Stainless steel pipe is more often available in standard weight sizes (noted by the “S” designation, for example, “NPS
SCH 10S”). However stainless steel pipe can also be available in other schedules.
Abbreviations used:
STD – Standard,
XS – Extra Strong,
XXS – Double Extra Strong,
A pipe Schedule chart or pipe size chart is provided in the following table with respect to nominal pipe size and pipe
thicknesses.
