Pipe Schedule
Pipe Schedule is the core standard system to characterize the wall thickness grade of industrial pipes, through the number (such as SCH 40/80) to define the standardized wall thickness requirements under different pressure conditions.
Pipe Schedule - Standard System and Classification
- American Standard System (ASME B36.10):
SCH 5S~SCH XXS (Stainless Steel Pipe)
SCH 10~SCH 160 (Carbon Steel Pipe)
- European Standard System (EN 10255):
Series 1 (Light Duty) to Series 4 (Heavy Duty)
- Special Specification:
SCH STD (Standard Wall Thickness)
SCH XS (Thick Wall Thickness)
Wall Thickness Calculation Formula: t = P×D/( 2S x E + P x Y)
(P = design pressure, D = external diameter, S = permissible stress, E = weld factor, Y = material factor)
