Pipe Wall Thickness: Sch 40 & 80

Quick Reference

Pipe wall thickness is designated by Schedule (Sch). Common schedules: 5, 10, 40 (STD), 80 (XS), 160, XXS. For same NPS, higher schedule = thicker wall. ASME B36.10: carbon/alloy steel. ASME B36.19: stainless/nickel alloy. Tolerance: ±12.5% nominal WT. Full size charts: ASME B36.10/B36.19.

Pipes Wall Thickness in Inches (by NPS/Schedule)

This article focuses on the standard wall thickness sizes (in inches and in millimeters) of carbon, alloy, stainless/duplex, and nickel alloy pipes. The wall thickness is expressed according to a special designation, called “Schedule”.

Pipe Sizes (OD, WT=SCH, ID)Learn more about the concept of Pipe Schedule.

To view the dimensions and weights (in Lbs/ft and Kg/m) of steel pipes, consult the broader ASME B36.10M and ASME B36.19M pipe sizes charts.

Carbon and Alloy Steel Pipes (ASME B36.10M)

The table shows the wall thickness in inches for combinations of pipe NPS (nominal pipe size) and SCH (pipe schedule) - for carbon/alloy steel ASTM grades (according to the ASME B36.10M Specification):
