2 inch pipe (DN 50): outside diameter, wall thickness and weight by schedule

A 2 inch pipe (DN 50) has a 60.3 mm (2.375 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) 57.00 mm (2.245 in) 2.39 kg/m (1.61 lb/ft)
Sch 10 / 10S 2.77 mm (0.109 in) 54.76 mm (2.157 in) 3.93 kg/m (2.64 lb/ft)
Sch 30 3.18 mm (0.125 in) 53.94 mm (2.125 in) 4.48 kg/m (3.01 lb/ft)
Sch 40 / STD / 40S 3.91 mm (0.154 in) 52.48 mm (2.067 in) 5.44 kg/m (3.66 lb/ft)
Sch 80 / XS / 80S 5.54 mm (0.218 in) 49.22 mm (1.939 in) 7.48 kg/m (5.03 lb/ft)
Sch 160 8.74 mm (0.344 in) 42.82 mm (1.687 in) 11.11 kg/m (7.47 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.

60.3 mm (2.375 in), in any schedule: it is the DN 50 pipe of ASME B36.10M. The wall changes with the schedule, and the inside diameter with it.
What is the wall thickness of 2 inch schedule 40 pipe?
3.91 mm (0.154 in), with an inside diameter of 52.48 mm (2.067 in); carbon steel pipe weighs 5.44 kg/m (3.66 lb/ft).
What is the difference between schedule 40 and 80 in 2 inch pipe?
The wall: 3.91 mm (0.154 in) in schedule 40 and 5.54 mm (0.218 in) in 80. The outside diameter is the same, so schedule 80 has the smaller bore -- 49.22 mm (1.939 in) against 52.48 mm (2.067 in) -- and weighs 7.48 kg/m (5.03 lb/ft) against 5.44 kg/m (3.66 lb/ft).
