Common questions

Does the outside diameter of pipe change with schedule?

No. For a given NPS the outside diameter is fixed by ASME B36.10M. Increasing the schedule thickens the wall inward, shrinking the bore while the OD stays put. That is what lets one set of flanges, fittings and pipe supports serve every schedule in a size.

Why does NPS stop matching the actual size above NPS 12?

From NPS 14 up, NPS equals the outside diameter in inches exactly — NPS 14 pipe is 14.000 in OD. Below NPS 14 the number is a historic designator inherited from iron pipe sizing and matches neither the OD nor the bore: NPS 2 pipe is 2.375 in OD.

What is the difference between schedule 40 and standard weight?

They are identical from NPS 1/8 through NPS 10. At NPS 12 they part company — standard weight stays at 0.375 in while schedule 40 goes to 0.406 in — and above NPS 12 standard weight is 0.375 in in every size while schedule 40 keeps climbing.
