Schedule Pipe
- Non-sanitary
- Hot Rolled
- Measured by nominal bore (NB)
Pipe is commonly used for a wide range of purposes including, transporting fluids, gases, drainage & services, irrigation, pumping, petrochemical, geothermal, marine, agriculture and machinery.
The term NB (Nominal Bore) is often used interchangeably with NPS (Nominal Pipe Size). ‘Nominal’ is a non-dimensional number that identifies the hole diameter.
The wall thickness of pipe is determined by the schedule. In the engineering industry, this can also be written to as ‘SCH10’ or ‘S10’ for Schedule 10S and as ‘SCH40’ or ‘S40’ for Schedule 40S. To ensure correct supply, always specify at least 2 dimensions you require: Outside diameter, inside diameter, or wall thickness.
