Fittings for NPS 22 pipe
ASME B16.9 dimensions come from NPS alone, so these figures hold for Schedule 120 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 22 schedule 120 pipe?
18.750 in (476.2 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 22.000 in (558.8 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 1.625 in (41.3 mm) wall takes 3.250 in off it — 1.625 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 22 schedule 120 pipe weigh?
353.61 lb/ft (526.24 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 473.32 lb/ft (704.37 kg/m), because the bore holds 14.344 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 6 ft.
Does NPS 22 schedule 120 pipe use special flanges or fittings?
No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 22 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 18.750 in (476.2 mm) to match.
