Guide to Pipe Size and Thickness for Robust Piping Systems
Introduction to Pipe Size and Thickness
Understanding the critical aspects of pipe size and thickness is essential for the design and functionality of industrial piping systems. Gunhand Welding LLC offers precise specifications to meet the demands of various sectors, including energy, petrochemical, and water treatment.
Key Parameters in Pipe Dimensions
Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): This industry standard refers to the nominal diameter of the pipe, which is closely related to the pipe’s outer diameter.
Schedule Number: Indicates the thickness of the pipe wall, which affects the pipe’s internal pressure rating. Common schedules include SCH 40, SCH 80, and SCH 160.
