1-1/4 inch pipe (DN 32): outside diameter, wall thickness and weight by schedule

A 1-1/4 inch pipe (DN 32) has a 42.2 mm (1.660 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) 38.90 mm (1.530 in) 1.65 kg/m (1.11 lb/ft)
Sch 10 / 10S 2.77 mm (0.109 in) 36.66 mm (1.442 in) 2.69 kg/m (1.81 lb/ft)
Sch 30 2.97 mm (0.117 in) 36.26 mm (1.426 in) 2.87 kg/m (1.93 lb/ft)
Sch 40 / STD / 40S 3.56 mm (0.140 in) 35.08 mm (1.380 in) 3.39 kg/m (2.27 lb/ft)
Sch 80 / XS / 80S 4.85 mm (0.191 in) 32.50 mm (1.278 in) 4.47 kg/m (3.00 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.

What is the outside diameter of 1-1/4 inch pipe?
42.2 mm (1.660 in), in any schedule: it is the DN 32 pipe of ASME B36.10M. The wall changes with the schedule, and the inside diameter with it.
What is the wall thickness of 1-1/4 inch schedule 40 pipe?
3.56 mm (0.140 in), with an inside diameter of 35.08 mm (1.380 in); carbon steel pipe weighs 3.39 kg/m (2.27 lb/ft).
What is the difference between schedule 40 and 80 in 1-1/4 inch pipe?
The wall: 3.56 mm (0.140 in) in schedule 40 and 4.85 mm (0.191 in) in 80. The outside diameter is the same, so schedule 80 has the smaller bore -- 32.50 mm (1.278 in) against 35.08 mm (1.380 in) -- and weighs 4.47 kg/m (3.00 lb/ft) against 3.39 kg/m (2.27 lb/ft).
