Introduction
Pipe schedule is a standardized system used to describe the wall thickness of pipes used in industrial piping systems.
Understanding pipe schedules is important for selecting pipes that can withstand pressure and temperature conditions.
What Is Pipe Schedule?
Pipe schedule refers to the thickness of a pipe wall. Higher schedule numbers indicate thicker pipe walls.
Common pipe schedules include:
Schedule 10
Schedule 20
Schedule 40
Schedule 80
Schedule 160
Why Pipe Schedule Matters
Pipe wall thickness determines how much pressure a pipe can safely withstand.
Thicker pipes can handle higher pressure and mechanical stress.
Pipe Schedule and Pipe Size
Pipe schedule works together with Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) to determine the internal and external dimensions of pipes.
Conclusion
Pipe schedule is an important parameter used to specify pipe wall thickness and pressure capacity in piping systems.
