Dimensional tolerances the basic permissible variations including pipe length and straightness requirements are defined in astm a530 this standard being referenced by all astm pipe standards.
Carbon steel pipe wall thickness tolerance.
Welded seamless carbon steel pipe to asme b36 10m all dimensions are in mm schedule wall thickness in mm nominal size dn nps 10 20 30 40 std 60 80 xs 100 120 140 160 xxs carbon steel pipe dimensions note 1 for dimensional tolerances refer to asme b36 10m equivalent sizes shown in api specification 5l od mm structural steel hollow sections.
1 mean diameter is the average of any two diameter measurements taken at right angles to each other at any point along the length.
As astm a106 and astm a530 standards.
Asme b36 10 includes other pipe thicknesses which are also commercially available with stainless steel material.
Due to corrosion resistance properties of stainless steel advancement of high alloy stainless steel and fusion welding less thickness pipe can be work satisfactorily without fear of early failure.
For standard pipe except as provided for thin wall pipe the tolerances of diameter shall be in accordance with the following table.
To reduces the cost of material asme has introduced different schedule numbers.
List of wall thicknesses for carbon steel pipes.
Nps 2 and larger shall be hot finished unless otherwise specified.
The wall thickness at any point should be within the following tolerance table.
Suitable for bending flanging and similar forming operations.
2 maximum wall thickness is controlled by weight tolerance 3 for schedule 5 and 10 only diameter wall thickness and length tolerances apply.
Schedule 10 sch 10 s 10 schedule 20 sch 20 s 20 schedule 30 sch 30 s 30 schedule 40 sch 40 s 40.
For pipe over 10 inch as special od tolerance pipe the od shall within vary 1 1.
Nps 1 1 2 and under may be either hot finished or cold drawn.
Astm a106 seamless pressure pipe also known as asme sa106 pipe covers seamless carbon steel nominal wall pipe for high temperature service.
Pay attention to this you will get a better pipe.
Cost of stainless steel pipe is much higher than carbon steel pipe.
So schedule numbers now identify wall thicknesses of pipe in the different nominal sizes as ansi b36 10m states as a convenient designation system for use in ordering.
