Flanges for NPS 3/4 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 10 means 0.884 in (22.5 mm). Order the flange to the schedule or the bores will not line up at the weld.

Fittings for NPS 3/4 pipe
ASME B16.9 dimensions come from NPS alone, so these figures hold for Schedule 10 exactly as they do for every other schedule in the size. Only the wall thickness has to be ordered to match.
| Fitting | Dimension | NPS 3/4 |
|---|---|---|
| 90° Long Radius Elbow | Centre-to-end A | 1.1228.45 mm |
| 45° Long Radius Elbow | Centre-to-end B | 0.4411.18 mm |
| Straight Tee | Centre-to-end C and M | 1.1228.45 mm |

Common questions
What is the inside diameter of NPS 3/4 schedule 10 pipe?
0.884 in (22.5 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 1.050 in (26.7 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.083 in (2.1 mm) wall takes 0.166 in off it — 0.083 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 3/4 schedule 10 pipe weigh?
0.86 lb/ft (1.28 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 1.12 lb/ft (1.67 kg/m), because the bore holds 0.032 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 2333 ft.
Does NPS 3/4 schedule 10 pipe use special flanges or fittings?
No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 3/4 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 0.884 in (22.5 mm) to match.
