What is the meaning of Schedule 60 pipe?
SCH 60 Pipe according to ASME/ ANSI B36.10 standard. The size of these pipes ranges between 8 Tinch and 24 inches. The sch 60 pipes has a medium range pressure capacity. Schedule governs the weight, diameter, and thickness of the pipes. This inturn influences the pressure rating of a particular pipes.
As per schedule 60 steel pipes dimensions, a normal 10 inch in size pipes will have a wall thickness of 0.5 mm along with 273 mm outer diameter and will weigh 81.55 kg/m. On the other hand, a normal 12 inch pipes size will have an outer diameter of 323 mm and a schedule 60 pipes thickness of 73.15 mm.
In general, schedule 60 steel pipes find applications across a wide range of industries, including: Industrial Processes, Oil and Gas Industry, Water Supply and Plumbing, HVAC Systems, Infrastructure Projects, Fire Sprinkler Systems, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Schedule 60 pipe used for?
Schedule 60 pipe is primarily used in medium-to-high pressure applications including oil & gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, water treatment facilities, and HVAC systems. Its wall thickness is between Sch 40 and Sch 80.
What is the difference between Schedule 60 and Schedule 80?
Schedule 80 has thicker walls and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 60. For example, a 6" NPS Sch 60 pipe has wall thickness of 10.97mm, while Sch 80 is 12.7mm. Sch 60 is more cost-effective for moderate pressure applications.
What materials are available for Schedule 60 pipe?
Schedule 60 pipes are available in carbon steel (ASTM A106 Gr.B), stainless steel (304/316L), and alloy steel. Material choice depends on your project temperature, pressure, and corrosion requirements.
What is the pressure rating of Schedule 60 pipe?
Pressure ratings vary by material, size, and temperature. As a general reference, 6" Sch 60 A106 Gr.B carbon steel pipe has a working pressure of approximately 4,500 psi at ambient temperature.
Do you supply Schedule 60 pipe to international projects?
Yes. Huitong Pipeline supplies Schedule 60 steel pipes to clients in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We provide full documentation: MTR, hydro test reports, and third-party inspection.
