This reference is intended for engineers, designers, drafters, fabricators, estimators, and procurement teams checking a large-diameter pipe entry. Use the dimensional data below when comparing pipe schedules, preparing layouts, reviewing material takeoffs, or working with the associated CAD resource.
For broader context, compare this entry with the site’s pipe schedule reference, NPS-to-DN guide, pipe weight references, and pipe fitting and flange resources. Those related topics help distinguish nominal size from measured diameter and support more consistent piping documentation.
Schedule 10 pipe 24 inch (DN600) is a large-diameter steel pipe size commonly used as a reference in piping design, fabrication, drafting, and estimation work. This page provides the standard dimensions, wall thickness, inside diameter, and weight per meter for NPS 24 Schedule 10 pipe based on ASME B36.10.

Schedule 10 Pipe 24 Inch Data Table
| Pipe Size | DN | OD (mm) | Wall Thickness (mm) | ID (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 inch | 600 | 610 | 6.35 | 597.3 | 94.53 |
What Does Schedule 10 Mean?
Schedule 10 refers to the wall thickness series of the pipe. For the same nominal pipe size, the outside diameter remains fixed while the wall thickness changes depending on the schedule. A thicker wall generally increases pipe weight and reduces the inside diameter.
Typical Uses of 24 Inch Schedule 10 Pipe
NPS 24 Schedule 10 pipe is commonly used where large flow capacity is needed with relatively lighter wall thickness than heavier schedules. It may be used in water transfer lines, utility systems, low-pressure process piping, drainage applications, and general plant layout or fabrication reference work.
Why Pipe Weight Matters
Pipe weight per meter is important for transport planning, support design, structural loading, fabrication estimates, and lifting calculations. In large-diameter piping systems, total line weight can significantly affect support spacing, installation methods, and project cost.
24 Inch Schedule 10 Pipe Calculation Notes
The listed weight is based on standard steel pipe dimension data using the outside diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. Actual product weight may vary slightly depending on manufacturing tolerance, material grade, and supplier standard.

How to Read This 24 Inch Schedule 10 Reference
The nominal designation identifies the pipe size family, while the outside diameter is the fixed dimensional reference used for many layout and connection checks. The schedule identifies the wall-thickness series. The inside diameter is then important when reviewing the available flow passage, clearances, and representation of the pipe in drawings.
When using the table for estimating or drafting, keep the units visible and do not confuse nominal size with either the outside or inside diameter. For a piping model, the outside diameter is typically the key envelope dimension, while the inside diameter is useful for flow-area and internal-clearance discussions.
Weight, Supports, and Installation Checks
The dry pipe weight is useful for material estimates, transport planning, lifting studies, and preliminary support-load checks. The water-filled value should be treated separately from the pipe-only value because the contents add load to the piping system. Final support spacing, anchorage, lifting arrangements, and structural verification require the project design basis and qualified engineering review.
Drafting and Procurement Notes
Use the nominal designation, DN designation, schedule, and reference standard together when communicating the requirement. This reduces ambiguity in purchase descriptions, fabrication drawings, bills of material, and model metadata. Before fabrication or procurement, confirm the applicable material specification, manufacturing requirements, tolerances, end preparation, and project amendments with the governing project documents and supplier.
The downloadable DWG can support layout and drafting workflows, but a CAD file should not be treated as a substitute for dimensional verification against the approved project requirement. A related pipe CAD and DWG resources page can help users locate comparable reference files.
Additional Questions About 24 Inch Schedule 10 Pipe
Is Schedule 10 the same as a pressure rating?
No. Schedule 10 identifies a wall-thickness series. Pressure capability depends on additional factors such as material, temperature, design code, joining method, corrosion allowance, and manufacturing requirements.
Why are both NPS 24 and DN600 shown?
NPS 24 is the nominal pipe-size designation used in inch-based systems, while DN600 is the corresponding metric nominal designation. Neither designation should be read as the actual measured outside diameter.
Should the listed weight be used as the final structural load?
It is a reference value for pipe-only weight. Final design loads should also consider contents, insulation, valves, fittings, supports, testing conditions, operating conditions, and applicable project requirements.
Can the DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is a drafting reference. Confirm dimensions, tolerances, interfaces, material requirements, and revision status before using it for fabrication or construction.
