Schedule 20 Pipe 32 Inch Data Table
| Pipe Size | DN | OD (mm) | Wall Thickness (mm) | ID (mm) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32 inch | 800 | 813 | 12.7 | 787.6 | 250.65 |
What Does Schedule 20 Mean?
Schedule 20 refers to a lighter wall thickness series than heavier schedules such as Schedule 40, Schedule 80, or Schedule 160. For the same nominal pipe size, the outside diameter remains fixed while the wall thickness changes according to the schedule. A lighter wall gives a larger inside diameter and lower pipe weight.
Typical Uses of 32 Inch Schedule 20 Pipe
NPS 32 Schedule 20 pipe is commonly referenced in large-diameter industrial piping systems, utility lines, water-related systems, plant layout drawings, and fabrication work where a large flow area is needed with lower wall thickness than heavier pipe schedules.
Why Pipe Weight Matters
Pipe weight per meter is important for transport planning, crane lifting studies, support design, structural loading, fabrication estimates, and installation planning. For a 32 inch pipe, total line weight can still become very high even with a lighter schedule, so accurate data is essential for engineering work.
32 Inch Schedule 20 Pipe Calculation Notes
The listed weight is based on standard steel pipe dimensions using the outside diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. Actual product weight may vary slightly depending on manufacturing tolerance, material specification, and supplier standard.
