Flanges for NPS 10 pipe
Flange dimensions are set by NPS and pressure class, not by schedule, so every flange below fits this pipe. The exception is the weld neck: its bore is machined to the pipe it is welded to, which for Schedule 100 means 9.312 in (236.5 mm). Order the flange to the schedule or the bores will not line up at the weld.

Fittings for NPS 10 pipe
ASME B16.9 dimensions come from NPS alone, so these figures hold for Schedule 100 exactly as they do for every other schedule in the size. Only the wall thickness has to be ordered to match.

Common questions
What is the inside diameter of NPS 10 schedule 100 pipe?
9.312 in (236.5 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 10.750 in (273.1 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.719 in (18.3 mm) wall takes 1.438 in off it — 0.719 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 10 schedule 100 pipe weigh?
77.03 lb/ft (114.63 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 106.55 lb/ft (158.57 kg/m), because the bore holds 3.538 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 26 ft.
Does NPS 10 schedule 100 pipe use special flanges or fittings?
No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 10 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 9.312 in (236.5 mm) to match.
