Schedule 40 Pipes
Schedule 40 Pipes
The range of pipe sizes in BS 1600 includes all piping shown below up to and and including 36"
Schedule s Piping
Schedule 5s, 10s , 40s and 80s apply to stainless steel (Austenitic chromium nickel) only
Schedule 40s piping includes all sizes up to, and including 12" and is dimensionally the same as Standard wall piping.
Schedule 80s piping includes all sizes up to, and including 12" and is dimensionally the same as Extra strong piping
These schedule numbers bear a relation to the pressure rating of the piping. There are eleven Schedules ranging from the lowest at 5 through 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100,
Regardless of schedule number, pipes of a particular size all have the same outside diameter (not withstanding manufacturing tolerances). As the schedule number increa
A 100 mm Schedule 40 pipe has an outside diameter of 114.30 mm, a wall thickness of 6.02 mm, giving a bore of 102.26 mm.
A 100 mm Schedule 80 pipe has an outside diameter of 114.30 mm, a wall thickness of 8.56 mm, giving a bore of 97.18 mm.
Only Schedules 40 and 80 cover the full range from 15 mm up to 600 mm nominal sizes and are the most commonly used schedule for steam pipe installations.
Tables of schedule numbers can be obtained from BS 1600 which are used as a reference for the nominal pipe size and wall thickness in millimetres.
