company news about How thick is schedule 80 steel pipe

Schedule 80 steel pipe refers to a wall thickness classification defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The actual wall thickness of Schedule 80 pipe depends on its nominal pipe size (NPS) — the larger the diameter, the thicker the wall in absolute terms.

Here’s a quick breakdown (common sizes):

In general, Schedule 80 pipes are much thicker and stronger than Schedule 40 pipes of the same nominal size, which makes them suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications such as chemical processing, power plants, and heavy industry.
