Schedule 10 pipe dimensions, weight & thickness

Date:2025-11-20View:5Tags:schedule 10 pipe, carbon steel pipe, schedule 10 pipe dimensions chart
In industrial piping design, the appropriate selection of pipe wall thickness is a core element in balancing system safety and economic efficiency. Different wall thickness grades (Schedule) directly determine the pipe's pressure-bearing capacity, structural weight, and application scenarios. Among them, Schedule 10 (SCH 10) carbon steel pipes, with their lightweight, high cost-effectiveness, and excellent applicability to medium and low pressure, have become the preferred solution for many engineering projects.

As can be seen from the table data, the key advantages of SCH 10 pipes are reflected in three dimensions:

1. Lightweight and economical: 

Thin-walled structures (e.g., DN25 pipe: 2.77mm thick, weighing 2.09kg/m) reduce transportation and installation costs by more than 30%. The weight reduction effect is even more significant for large-diameter pipes (DN600 only 94.53kg/m).

2. Scientific wall thickness gradient: 

The wall thickness increases in a stepped manner with increasing pipe diameter (DN250→4.19mm / DN350→6.35mm / DN750→7.92mm), maintaining a stable structure while withstanding design pressure (typically ≤2.5MPa), simplifying the selection process.

3. Precise operating condition adaptation: 

Based on optimized pressure parameters, it is particularly suitable for:

HVAC systems (chilled water/HVAC)
Low-pressure fire protection piping networks
Atmospheric pressure chemical media transportation
Steam systems with operating pressure ≤1.6MPa (requires STPT material)
Meets the compliance requirements for non-corrosive fluid pipelines in the food/pharmaceutical industries.
