Common questions
What is the inside diameter of NPS 1/8 schedule 10 pipe?
0.307 in (7.8 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 0.405 in (10.3 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.049 in (1.2 mm) wall takes 0.098 in off it — 0.049 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 1/8 schedule 10 pipe weigh?
0.19 lb/ft (0.28 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 0.22 lb/ft (0.33 kg/m), because the bore holds 0.004 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 10735 ft.
Does NPS 1/8 schedule 10 pipe use special flanges or fittings?
No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 1/8 hardware fits this pipe in any schedule. The one thing that does follow the schedule is the bore of a weld neck flange or a fitting end prep, which has to be 0.307 in (7.8 mm) to match.
