Schedule 10 pipe is used to start pipe schedules. As the schedule number increases, so does the thickness of the pipe’s wall. Due to the thickness of the pipe wall, two 1/8 inch pipes with different wall thicknesses can have different pipe schedule numbers. The schedule number is unaffected by pipe diameter or weight per foot. A heavy wall Schedule 80 pipe with a 1/8 inch diameter, for example, has a 0.135-inch wall thickness and a 1/8 inch light wall. The wall thickness of Schedule 40 pipe is only 0.068 inches. What are Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel Heavy Wall Thickness Pipe?
