Description / Abstract:
This Standard covers the standardization of dimensions of welded
and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe for high or low
temperatures and pressures.
The word pipe is used, as distinguished from tube, to apply to
tubular products of dimensions commonly used for pipeline and
piping systems. Pipes NPS 12 (DN 300) and smaller have outside
diameters numerically larger than their corresponding sizes. In
contrast, the outside diameters of tubes are numerically identical
to the size number for all sizes.
The wall thicknesses for NPS 14 through 22, inclusive (DN
350–550, inclusive), of Schedule 10S; NPS 12 (DN 300) of Schedule
40S; and NPS 10 and 12 (DN 250 and 300) of Schedule 80S are not the
same as those of ASME B36.10M. The suffix "S" in the schedule
number is used to differentiate B36.19M pipe from B36.10M pipe.
ASME B36.10M includes other pipe thicknesses that are also
commercially available with stainless steel material.
