Weight is plain-end carbon steel, w = 10.6802 × t × (OD − t) lb/ft.

In this schedule the wall thickness coincides with STD in NPS 14 through NPS 16 and XS in NPS 20 through NPS 22. Outside those sizes it does not, so never substitute one designation for the other without checking the number.

Common questions

What sizes is schedule 30 pipe made in?

ASME B36.10M publishes schedule 30 in 14 sizes, from NPS 8 through NPS 36. Wall thickness runs from 0.277 in (7.0 mm) at the small end to 0.625 in (15.9 mm) at the large end.

Does schedule 30 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.
