Pipe schedule, often marked on the outside of the pipe, represents the wall thickness of pipe and pipe fittings.For any pipe OD, as the schedule number increases, the walls get thicker, and the ID decreases.
Schedule 40 is the most common pipe schedule found in industry, is also known as standard-wall pipe STD. Choose higher schedule, thicker wall pipe to handle higher pressures. However, keep in mind that thick walls restrict flow since there's less space for the liquid or gas to move. Lower schedule, thinner wall pipe allows more flow but can't handle as much pressure. The ability to handle pressure also depends on the material. For example, steel pipe generally handles higher pressures for a given pipe schedule than plastic or aluminum pipe.
When replacing a pipe or a fitting, it's best to match your pipe schedules to retain pressure and flow. Your system will only be as strong as your weakest pipe.
Schedule 40
Schedule 80
Schedule 80 (SCH 80) pipe is also known as thick-wall pipe. Found in industrial plumbing systems, Schedule 80 is considered a heavy-duty alternative to Schedule 40 because of its increased strength.
