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.

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 the wall thickness of 6 inch schedule 30 pipe?
I don't think 6 inch pipe is available in schedule 30.
How thick is 17 gauge galvanized pipe?
.055"
How does bourdon tube gauge work?
A Bourdon gauge consists of a C-shaped pipe with one end closed and the other end attached to a chamber whose pressure is being measured. When there is a pressure difference between the inside of the pipe and the outside, there will be a net force acting on the C-shaped pipe which will either try to curl the pipe into a tighter C shape (if the pressure in the pipe is less than the ambient air pressure), or the force will tend to straighten out the pipe (if the pressure is higher inside). This force can be measured, and from the measurement of this force, the gauge pressure within the pipe can be calculated.
What gauge aluminum is 065 inch thick?
16 gauge
What is the difference in 16 gauge pipe and 19 gauge pipe?
16 gauge pipe is thicker than 19 gauge pipe.
What gauge is schedule 40 pipe?
10
What is the gauge equivalent of schedule 40 pipe?
150
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.
Is 16 gauge pipe thicker than 20 gauge?
yes
What is the Wall thickness of 16 inch schedule 5 stainless steel pipe?
.165"
How do you calculate the od of a pipe from schedule?
1/8 pipe schedule
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 schedule 20 pipe?
its the thickness of the pipe wall
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
Are pipe and pipe fittings can be different schedule?
No, they need to match.
What means by schedule 40 in gas pipeline fittings?
The schedule of a pipe indicates its thickness. The higher the schedule number, the thicker the pipe will be. Shcedule 40 and schedule 80 seem to be the most common.
