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

Can bend the GI pipe by using hand bender?
Yes, you can bend a GI (galvanized iron) pipe using a hand bender, provided the pipe is within the appropriate diameter and wall thickness limits for the tool. Hand benders apply pressure to bend the pipe gradually, allowing for precise angles. However, it's important to ensure the pipe is adequately supported and to use the correct technique to avoid kinking or damaging the pipe during the bending process. Always wear appropriate safety gear when performing such tasks.
What is the trace heating or heat tracing?
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.
What is pipe earthing?
in this method a galvonise iron pipe of 38mm internal dia 2.5 mt lenght having 12mm dia holes on its surface
The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
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.
What are the applications of venturimeter?
Measurement of flow rate in a pipe
What is schedule 20 pipe?
its the thickness of the pipe wall
What do you mean shedule of pipe?
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
What does pipe schedule means?
It refers to the strength and wall thickness of the pipe.
What is the difference between schedule 40 and 10 gauge 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.
What is the difference between 40 and 40S pipe schedule?
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.
What is the difference between schedule and class?
schedule is the thickness of the pipe and class is pressure/temperature rating of a fitting or pipe
What is Definition of pipe schedule?
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.
What is wall thickness of ms pipe schedule 40 and schedule 80?
It depends on the nominal diameter of pipe, but in actual sch-40 thickness is lesser than sch-80.
What is a pipe schedule?
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.
What is schedule 40 PVC pipe?
It is the wall thickness heavier then schedule 20 lighter then schedule 80
What does the plumbing term schedule 40 mean?
In plumbing jargon, "schedule 40" refers to the thickness of the pipe wall. Specifically, it indicates a standard measurement for the thickness of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes and fittings. Schedule 40 pipes are commonly used for residential and commercial plumbing applications due to their durability and ability to withstand high pressure.
What is the wall thickness of 6 inch schedule 30 pipe?
I don't think 6 inch pipe is available in schedule 30.
