1-1/2 inch pipe (DN 40): outside diameter, wall thickness and weight by schedule
A 1-1/2 inch pipe (DN 40) has a 48.3 mm (1.900 in) outside diameter in every schedule: what changes is the wall, and with it the inside diameter and the weight. Designations that give the same wall share a row.
| Schedule | Wall | ID | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sch 5 / 5S | 1.65 mm (0.065 in) | 45.00 mm (1.770 in) | 1.90 kg/m (1.28 lb/ft) |
| Sch 10 / 10S | 2.77 mm (0.109 in) | 42.76 mm (1.682 in) | 3.11 kg/m (2.09 lb/ft) |
| Sch 30 | 3.18 mm (0.125 in) | 41.94 mm (1.650 in) | 3.54 kg/m (2.37 lb/ft) |
| Sch 40 / STD / 40S | 3.68 mm (0.145 in) | 40.94 mm (1.610 in) | 4.05 kg/m (2.72 lb/ft) |
| Sch 80 / XS / 80S | 5.08 mm (0.200 in) | 38.14 mm (1.500 in) | 5.41 kg/m (3.63 lb/ft) |
| Sch 160 | 7.14 mm (0.281 in) | 34.02 mm (1.338 in) | 7.25 kg/m (4.86 lb/ft) |
| XXS | 10.15 mm (0.400 in) | 28.00 mm (1.100 in) | 9.55 kg/m (6.41 lb/ft) |
Plain-end weight of carbon steel pipe, by the standard's own formula: 10.69 × (D − t) × t in lb/ft, with D and t in inches (0.0246615 × (D − t) × t in kg/m, in mm). Austenitic stainless weighs about 2% more.
