It depends on the nominal diameter of pipe, but in actual sch-40 thickness is lesser than sch-80.

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 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 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 in pipe?

Schedule in pipe is relevant to NPS (National Pipe Sizes) and refers to the wall thickness of pipe. 20 is thin wall, 40 is strong and 80 is extra. (There are other sizes, these are just examples.)

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.


Is schedule 40 pipe PVC?

Not plumbing pvc pipe, but pvc pipe made especially for wiring.


What is the difference between PVC schedule 40 and PVC 80?

The difference between schedule 40 and 80 pvc is the wall thickness and schedule 80 is thicker then schedule 40 so the higher the schedule number the thicker the wall of the pipe thus can hold more pressure.

What is the schedule of 16 gauge pipe?

16 gauge pipe refers to the wall thickness of the pipe exclusive of its diameter.It is 0.064 inches thick, this is a steel wire gauge measurement.Pipes are typically sold by schedule numbers. A wall thickness of 0.064 inches would correspond to pipe schedule 40 for 1/8" diameter pipe (0.068"), schedule 10 for 1/4" and 3/8" pipe (0.065") and schedule 5 for pipe diameters 1/2" to 2" (0.065"). Over 2" diameter pipe, schedule 5 (the smallest wall thickness) is thicker than 16 gauge steel.
