Common questions

What is the inside diameter of NPS 34 schedule 40 pipe?

32.624 in (828.6 mm). The outside diameter is fixed at 34.000 in (863.6 mm) by ASME B36.10M, and the 0.688 in (17.5 mm) wall takes 1.376 in off it — 0.688 in from each side — leaving that bore.

How much does NPS 34 schedule 40 pipe weigh?

244.78 lb/ft (364.27 kg/m) empty, as plain-end carbon steel. Full of water it comes to 607.17 lb/ft (903.57 kg/m), because the bore holds 43.424 US gallons per foot. One short ton of this pipe is about 8 ft.

Does NPS 34 schedule 40 pipe use special flanges or fittings?

No. Flanges and buttweld fittings are dimensioned from NPS, so NPS 34 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 32.624 in (828.6 mm) to match.
