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 5 means 0.920 in (23.4 mm). Order the flange to the schedule or the bores will not line up at the weld.

| Class 150 | 3.8898.55 mm | 0.5012.70 mm | 2.7569.85 mm | 4 × 1/2 in |

Fittings for NPS 3/4 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.

| 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 5 pipe?
0.920 in (23.4 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 1.050 in (26.7 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.065 in (1.7 mm) wall takes 0.130 in off it — 0.065 in from each side — leaving that bore.
How much does NPS 3/4 schedule 5 pipe weigh?
0.68 lb/ft (1.02 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 0.97 lb/ft (1.45 kg/m), because the bore holds 0.035 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 2925 ft.
Does NPS 3/4 schedule 5 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 0.920 in (23.4 mm) to match.
