Common questions

What is the inside diameter of NPS 26 standard (std) pipe?

25.250 in (641.3 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 26.000 in (660.4 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.375 in (9.5 mm) wall takes 0.750 in off it — 0.375 in from each side — leaving that bore.

How much does NPS 26 standard (std) pipe weigh?

102.63 lb/ft (152.73 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 319.71 lb/ft (475.79 kg/m), because the bore holds 26.012 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 19 ft.

Does NPS 26 standard (std) pipe use special flanges or fittings?

No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 26 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 25.250 in (641.3 mm) to match.
