Properties of Pipe

The following formulas are used in the computation of the values shown in the table:

[ ] weight of pipe per foot (pounds)

= 10.6802 t( D - t)

weight of water per foot (pounds)

= 0.3405 d 2

square feet outside surface per foot

= 0.2618 D

square feet inside surface per foot

= 0.2618 d

inside area (square inches)

= 0.785 d 2

area of metal (square inches)

= 0.785( D) 2 - d 2)

moment of inertia (inches 4)

= 0.0491( D 4 - d 4)

= A mR g 2

section modulus (inches 3)

=

radius of gyration (inches)

=

[ ]The ferritic steels may be about 5% less, and the austenitic stainless steels about 2 % greater than the values shown in this table which are based on weights for carbon steel.

A m

= area of metal (square inches)

d

= inside diameter (inches)

D

= outside diameter (inches)

R g

= radius of gyration (inches)

t

= pipe wall thickness (inches)

* schedule numbers

Standard weight pipe and schedule 40 are the same in all sizes through 10-inch; from 12-inch through 24-inch, standard weight pipe has a wall thickness of 3/8-inch.

Extra strong weight pipe and schedule 80 are the same in all sizes through 8-inch; from 8-inch through 24-inch, extra strong weight pipe has a wall thickness of 1/2-inch.

Double extra strong weight pipe has no...
