schedule is thickness of the inside diameter of the pipe,schelude 40 is usually a standard thickness for most applications which is normally 1/4" wall,as the schedule number increases or decreases so does the wall thickness,the outside diameter remains the same,standard piping schedules are 10,40,80,120,160 ========================================= ***This question came up at work the other day and in searching for an answer I found that a lot of people have the same question... I finally found an explanation on a website (I have included the paragraph and link below). I can not confirm its accuracy; however, it makes more sense than anythign else out there that I've read. Schedule is NOT directly a measure of thickness, it is a measure of the pressure a pipe can withstand without deflection or failure. When you are talking about pipes constructed of the same materials (i.e. PVC) a thicker pipe would be able to withstand higher pressures. As a result, many people have taken "schedule" to be synonymous with thickness. "For the purpose of standardizing pipe dimensions, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sponsored by the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), published ANSI B36.10. To broaden the range of wall thicknesses, schedule numbers from schedule 10 (S.10) thru schedule 160 (S.160) were adopted for steel pipe. These schedule numbers indicate approximate values for 1000 times pressure-stress ratios." From http://www.durovac.com/industrial-vacuum/tubing-fittings/stuff-about-pipe.htm
Heat tracing can be of 2 types: 1] Electrical Heat tracing: 2] Steam Tracing: Electrical heat tracing can be described as an insulated electrical heating cable, which is spiralled around the process fluid pipe( or object that needs to be heated), after which the pipe and tracing is insulated with the appropriate type and thickness of insulation lagging material. In steam tracing, instead of electrical heating cable, small pile is spiralled which carry steam thereby heating the desired object.

A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
Measurement of flow rate in a pipe
Yes, if it is rigid PVC conduit approved for electrical installations. Don't use PVC water pipe as it will be rejected if inspected.
wall thickness of the pipe
its the thickness of the pipe wall
Schedule of pipe most commonly refers to the thickness of the wall of the pipe itself. ex...schedule 40 PVC pipe has a thinner wall than sch. 80 PVC
It refers to the strength and wall thickness of the pipe.
The gauge of the pipe is the wall thickness. It is easier to say Schedule 40 pipe than .180 inch wall thickness. This is the SCH 40 wall thickness for a standard 12" pipe and the actual gauge thickness will vary based on pipe size and material. The larger the Schedule number, the thicker the pipe wall thickness. Pipe Schedule is also expressed in Std., X-Stg., and XX-Stg. since some thicknesses are more common than others.
The schedule value refers to the thickness of the wall of the pipe; the bigger the number (schedule) the bigger the wall thickness is of the pipe. The thickness is relative to the diameter of the tube/pipe an the application it is being used in.
schedule is the thickness of the pipe and class is pressure/temperature rating of a fitting or pipe
pipe schedule is an American definition to define pipe thickness and how much pressure can the pipe stand, schedules are 10,20,40,80.., pipe schedule is nearly close to the eurobian definition for pipe class.
It depends on the nominal diameter of pipe, but in actual sch-40 thickness is lesser than sch-80.
Pipe schedule tell you something about the wall thickness of a pipe. Higher schedule means thicker wall. The actual thickness must be read from a pipe specification sheet, as it differs from material to material. Typical pipe sch. are Sch 20, 40, 80, 160, XS, XXS.
It is the wall thickness heavier then schedule 20 lighter then schedule 80
I don't think 6 inch pipe is available in schedule 30.
