Pipe ratings are the operating pressures that a pipe can be constantly operated at.
There are a few classes of Plumbing pressures. Schedule 40 black iron is 150 psi class, meaning that the "operating pressures" are 150 psi.
The 300 psi class is the class for most schedule 80 black iron (no seam [welded]).
Each class has it's own fittings at the same ratings. The fittings wont be listed as a schedule just a class or a psi rating.
Other ratings can exceed 3000 psi for hydraulic actuated machinery applications. Again, these classes have there own set of 3000 class fittings which are usually forged instead of cast.
The ratings include a safety factor of 2 and an extra surge allowance of 100 psi for very short term operation. The rating only goes to the yield strength of the pipe not the failure strength, know the difference. So the burst pressures someone else gave as the pressure rating (2700 +psi) is wrong unless the person asking this question was trying to make a "pipe bomb."
Its d schedule rating of pressure of pipe...
schedule is the thickness of the pipe and class is pressure/temperature rating of a fitting or pipe
A pressure rating refers to the qualified operating pressure that is recommended for a component or a system by the manufacturer. The pressure rating of 12 schedule 40 steel pipe is 370 psi.
The 80 in 80 steel pipe indicates its wall thickness; the higher the number, the thicker the pipe. The pressure rating for a 5" schedule 80 steel pipe at 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 1857 psig.
Check out the MDSD sheet of the manufacturer of the pie to get pipe limits and specs. As a general rule , most sch.40 blk pipe is only rated to 150PSI at 70*..
The maximum pressure per schedule for GI pipes varies. For instance, a schedule 40 for a black poly pipe would be 200 psi.
Hello??? black steel comes in various schedules , schedule 10, 20 40 ,80 ,120 the thicker the wall the higher the pressure the piping can withstand

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.
Is this pipe going to be threaded / Grooved or Welded?
schedule is the thickness of the pipe and class is pressure/temperature rating of a fitting or pipe
The pressure rating for schedule 80 pipe is typically around 200 psi (pounds per square inch).
The recommended pressure rating for 1.5 inch schedule 40 pipe is 130 psi.
Pressure rating.
What schedule are you asking about?
A pressure rating refers to the qualified operating pressure that is recommended for a component or a system by the manufacturer. The pressure rating of 12 schedule 40 steel pipe is 370 psi.
