Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What is STD in pipes?

Standard thickness, or STD, refers to the typical thickness that pipelines are produced with, as defined by engineering standards.

What does ASME B36.10M cover?

This standard covers the dimensions of welded and seamless wrought steel pipe suitable for high or low temperature and pressure service.

What is ASME B36.19M?

It covers the dimensions of welded and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe for various service conditions.

Why is it called Schedule 40?

Schedule numbers are non-dimensional, representing a specific set of wall thickness and diameter ratios defined by ASME B36. The schedule designation does not denote a specific size but rather the pipe's construction.

Which is thicker, Schedule 80 or Schedule 40?

Schedule 80 has a greater wall thickness than Schedule 40 for a given nominal pipe size.
