Pipe dimension standard
ASME B36.19

Stainless steel pipe dimensions

EQUIVALENT
ASME B36.10 (carbon steel pipe; same outside diameters) · ISO 1127 / EN 10217-7 for metric stainless pipe
SCOPE
UNITS
mm · weight kg/m (calculated for AISI 304, ρ = 7.93 kg/dm³)

Schedules with the "S" suffix are specific to stainless pipe. For a given NPS the outside diameter is constant; a higher schedule means a thicker wall and a smaller bore.

Notes

  • This table has been compiled by Emsal from the relevant standards. For the full text of the standard, refer to ASME.
  • Every value is identical in at least two independent sources. Values found in only one source (NPS ⅛–⅜ Sch 5S, Sch 40S / 80S at NPS 22 and 30) have been omitted.
  • NPS and DN: NPS is the nominal size in inches; from NPS 14 upwards the outside diameter equals NPS × 25.4 mm, but not for smaller sizes (e.g. a 2" pipe is 60.33 mm).
  • Metric stainless pipe (ISO 1127) uses the same outside diameter for most sizes, but not all: 76.1 mm at DN65 (ASME 73.03), 139.7 mm at DN125 (ASME 141.3). Check which series is used when selecting fittings and valve ends.
  • Weight is for plain-end pipe: kg/m = π · (D − t) · t · ρ / 1000. Add about 1% for AISI 316.
  • Accuracy and currency are not guaranteed; use the current edition of the standard for design and purchasing decisions. How the library is compiled →
