5 inch pipe (DN 125): outside diameter, wall thickness and weight by schedule
A 5 inch pipe (DN 125) has a 141.3 mm (5.563 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Sch 5 / 5S | 2.77 mm (0.109 in) | 135.76 mm (5.345 in) | 9.46 kg/m (6.36 lb/ft) |
| Sch 10 / 10S | 3.40 mm (0.134 in) | 134.50 mm (5.295 in) | 11.56 kg/m (7.78 lb/ft) |
| Sch 40 / STD / 40S | 6.55 mm (0.258 in) | 128.20 mm (5.047 in) | 21.77 kg/m (14.63 lb/ft) |
| Sch 80 / XS / 80S | 9.53 mm (0.375 in) | 122.24 mm (4.813 in) | 30.97 kg/m (20.80 lb/ft) |
| Sch 120 | 12.70 mm (0.500 in) | 115.90 mm (4.563 in) | 40.28 kg/m (27.06 lb/ft) |
| Sch 160 | 15.88 mm (0.625 in) | 109.54 mm (4.313 in) | 49.12 kg/m (32.99 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.
