It is a unified pipe diameter, wall thickness and other parameters formulated according to international industry specifications to ensure the interoperability of pipes of different materials and uses.
How To Choose The Appropriate Pipe Standard Size?
It should be selected in combination with specific scenarios and specifications.
- International standards: ANSI B36.10M, API and other specifications define the nominal diameter (DN) and wall thickness grade (such as SCH 40, SCH 80) of carbon steel and stainless steel pipes
- Material differences: Different material size standards may also be different, such as PVC and galvanized steel.
- Application areas: Different fields use different unit standards. For example, water pipes often use imperial units, but oil and gas pipelines mostly use metric or API standards.
