Common questions
What sizes is schedule 160 pipe made in?
ASME B36.10M publishes schedule 160 in 20 sizes, from NPS 1/2 through NPS 24. Wall thickness runs from 0.188 in (4.8 mm) at the small end to 2.344 in (59.5 mm) at the large end.
Does schedule 160 mean the same wall thickness in every size?
No. A schedule number is a series, not a thickness. It sets a wall that rises with the pipe size so the pressure rating stays roughly constant across the range — which is the whole point of the schedule system.
