Fittings for NPS 22 pipe
ASME B16.9 dimensions come from NPS alone, so these figures hold for Schedule 5 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 5 pipe?
21.624 in (549.2 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 22.000 in (558.8 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.188 in (4.8 mm) wall takes 0.376 in off it — 0.188 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 22 schedule 5 pipe weigh?
43.80 lb/ft (65.18 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 203.01 lb/ft (302.11 kg/m), because the bore holds 19.078 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 46 ft.
Does NPS 22 schedule 5 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 21.624 in (549.2 mm) to match.
