Schedule 120 steel pipe: outside diameter, wall thickness and weight chart

Schedule 120 in ASME B36.10M gives one wall for each size, from 4 inch to 24 inch. The outside diameter is that of the size, the same in every schedule; the inside diameter is the outside diameter less two walls.

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.

Questions

What is schedule 120 pipe?
It is the schedule 120 wall series in ASME B36.10M: one wall for each size, from 4 inch to 24 inch. The outside diameter is that of the size, and the inside diameter is the outside diameter less two walls.
How do you calculate the weight of schedule 120 pipe?
With the standard's own formula: weight in lb/ft = 10.69 × (D − t) × t, with the outside diameter D and the wall t in inches; in kg/m, 0.0246615 × (D − t) × t in millimetres. That is carbon steel; austenitic stainless weighs about 2% more.
