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.
What is a Pipe Schedule?
The pipe Schedule or Pipe Schedule number of a Pipe is a dimensionless number that is related to Pipe Wall Thickness. The piping Schedule Number for a specific pipe size is a pipe thickness designator for that pipe size.
How to Calculate a Pipe Schedule?
Schedule Numbers for pipe size/wall thickness combinations are calculated (approximated) to get a uniform relationship equal to 1000 times the P/S (P=Design Pressure and S=Allowable Stress) expression contained in the modified Barlow formula for pipe wall thickness. The pipe schedule is abbreviated as SCH. So,
SCH=1000*(P/S)
Characteristics of Pipe Schedule
For a given pipe size and schedule the thickness of the pipe is fixed and defined in the applicable ASME standard (ASME B36.10M/ ASME B36.19M). Even though Pipe thickness can also be specified in mm or inches to the value corresponding to that specified in the ASME standard, The Schedule Numbers are strictly used as a convenient designation system while ordering piping items.
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.
Pipe Schedule Governing Standards
In the oil and gas and related downstream industries the most common standards are
ASME B36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe, and
ASME B36.19 Stainless Steel Pipe
What is the Nominal Pipe Size (NPS)?
The size of all pipes is identified by the nominal pipe size. The manufacture of pipe NPS 1⁄8 (DN 6) to NPS 12 (DN 300), inclusive, is based on a standardized outside diameter (OD). This OD was originally selected so that a pipe with a standard OD and a wall thickness that was typical of the period would have an inside diameter (ID) approximately equal to the nominal size. Although there is no such relation between the existing standard thickness, OD, and nominal size — these nominal sizes and standard ODs continue in use as ‘‘standard.’’
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.
Pipe Schedule (SCH) vs Pipe Size
For all pipe sizes, the outside diameter remains constant.Therefore any variation in pipe schedule i.e. wall thickness affects only the inside diameter. As the pipe schedule number increases, the wall thickness increases, and the actual bore is reduced.
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.
Pipe Schedule / Pipe Wall Thickness Calculation
The calculation of wall thickness varies depending on the usage of the code. All codes (B31.3, B31.1, IBR, B31.4, B31.8, nuclear code, etc.) provide equations for calculating the minimum wall thickness based on the pressure that the pipe has to withstand. The major parameters involved in thickness calculation are Design pressure, Pipe OD, and Allowable Stress at design temperature. After the calculation of minimum wall thickness, corrosion, and mechanical allowances need to be added to that. After that, the actual pipe thickness is selected (immediate higher size thickness of the calculated value) from ASME code tables depending on pipe material (CS or SS).
You may be interested in the following two articles:
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,

Table 1: Pipe Schedule Chart
Pipe Schedule 40 Dimensions
Pipe Schedule 40 is a basic pipe thickness designator. It only denotes that for a given material, Sch 40 Pipes can withstand certain pressures. Schedule 40 for a pipe is identical to Schedule STD for pipe sizes up to NPS 10.
The following table will provide an example of Schedule 40 Steel Pipe Dimensions.
Pipe Schedule 80 has more thicknesses as compared to SCH 40 pipes. So, automatically Sch 80 Steel Pipes are stronger. The following table provides the dimensions for Pipe Schedule 80 Steel Pipes.
I am a Mechanical Engineer turned into a Piping Engineer. Currently, I work in a reputed MNC as a Senior Piping Stress Engineer. I am very much passionate about blogging and always tried to do unique things. This website is my first venture into the world of blogging with the aim of connecting with other piping engineers around the world.

Yes For any given pipe size and varying schedule numbers or thicknesses its Outside Diameter (OD) remains constant and Internal Diameter (ID) varies. i am satisfied with this article. Thank You For This Valuable Article
If all of a given diameter pipe holds the same outside radius, why does the outside radius not used as the pipe size? 3″ pipe is always 3 1/2″ diameter, but the internal clearance is only close to 3″ as sch. 40. Why not call it 3 1/2″ pipe?
I have a question:
You are given two pieces of pipe. The pipes have the following characteristics.
Pipe One is 3.5 inches in outer diameter.
Pipe Two is 4.0 inches in outer diameter.
Both pipes are marked as schedule 80.
NPS (Nominal Pipe Size) and DN (Nominal Dia) are easy to remember that is why these were introduced. If you see the outside diameter up to NPS 12, it is very difficult to remember. As the outside diameter is in decimal, it is not a whole number.
That is why Pipes are defined as per NPS, not the outside diameter.
Pipeline material X60 using thickness 7.11 mm. equivalent to sch.40. my lead says don’t put sch.40 tell as 7.11mm Thickness. so what is the difference?
thickness or sch. which one to follow. if any standards to be advise
Hi.
This is a bit of a different question for you, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I want to put up a household clothesline and I require a steel vertical post to support one end. The base of the post will be sitting in 300 lbs of concrete, and approximately 8 feet high, I will affix one end of the clothesline.
I have been looking at a 4″ schedule 40 pipe -4X10.5 STD BLK A53B ERW PIPE
which is probably overkill. Will a 2″ or 3″ diameter be sufficient ?
There is no spec on following: if you have an 8 foot long Vertical steel post supported at the base, and a chain pulling at the top, how much pressure would it take to bend the post ?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Mike

What is the same about these two peices of pipe.
Thank you!

And NPS 14 and above Pipe OD is the same as NPS.
Michael Kominski! Reply to your query:
Nothing is common between a 3.5″ and 4″ OD, schedule 80 Pipe.
For 3.5″ OD, Schedule 80 Pipe, Pipe Wall Thickness is 0.3″. So the ID of the Pipe is 3.5-0.6=2.9″.
For 4″ OD, Schedule 80 Pipe, Pipe Wall Thickness is 0.318″. So the ID of the Pipe is 4.0-0.636=3.364″.
I hope the above explanation clarifies your query.

one pices of pipe
od is 1.33″

what is shedule
You can calculate by the formula…
OD-2(Thickness)=ID

Has pipe schedule Sch.HVY matches with any other standard pipe schedules either XS or XXS?
Dear colleagues,
Can anyone tell me why pipe schedule std and Pipe schedule 40 have same thickness upto 10″
where can i get piping spans for 1/4″ and 1/2″ stainless steel tubing wall thickness 0.020″ and 0.049″
