Schedule 5S Pipe 8 Inch (DN200 mm) is a stainless steel pipe size commonly used in industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and lighter wall thickness are required. This pipe size is typically referenced under ANSI/ASME B36.19, which is the standard used for stainless steel pipe dimensions.
For this size, the pipe has an outside diameter (OD) of 219.1 mm, an inside diameter (ID) of 213.56 mm, and a wall thickness of 2.77 mm. The listed pipe weight is 14.78 kg/m, while the weight including water is 50.58 kg/m.

What Is Schedule 5S Pipe?
Schedule 5S is a thin-wall stainless steel pipe schedule listed in ASME B36.19. The āSā designation is commonly used for stainless steel pipe schedules. Compared with heavier schedules, Schedule 5S provides a lighter wall thickness and lower pipe weight, which can help reduce handling effort, support load, and fabrication requirements in suitable applications.
However, pipe schedule selection should always be reviewed against design pressure, temperature, corrosion allowance, project code, and service conditions before final use.

Why DN200 Pipe Dimensions Matter
Many users search for DN200 pipe dimensions to verify piping layout, support spacing, fabrication requirements, transport limits, and compatibility with fittings or connected equipment. For this pipe size, accurate dimensions are important for spool coordination, structural checks, and installation planning.
Knowing the correct 8 inch Schedule 5S pipe dimensions also helps engineers, designers, estimators, buyers, and students compare this size with other schedules when reviewing wall thickness, internal flow area, and total pipe weight.
NPS 8 and DN200 Explained
NPS stands for Nominal Pipe Size in inches, while DN stands for Diameter Nominal in metric designation. For this pipe size:
- NPS 8 = inch-based nominal pipe size
- DN200 = metric nominal designation
Although DN is shown in metric form, the actual outside diameter should always be checked from the dimensional standard. For this size, the OD is 219.1 mm.

How to Read This Schedule 5S Pipe Reference
The listed outside diameter is the principal dimensional check for layout coordination and connection compatibility. The inside diameter describes the available internal passage, while wall thickness helps distinguish this light-wall stainless steel configuration from heavier schedule options.
Pipe weight is useful for handling, support, transportation, and preliminary material estimates. The separate water-inclusive value represents the listed pipe weight together with the water contained inside the pipe. Actual operating loads can differ when the conveyed fluid, insulation, lining, valves, or other attached components are considered.
Design and Drafting Checks
- Confirm the pipe size and schedule against the project piping specification and material requirements.
- Use the outside diameter when coordinating pipe routes, clamps, supports, sleeves, and connected components.
- Check the inside diameter when reviewing flow passage, access, and equipment connection requirements.
- Review pressure, temperature, corrosion, joining method, and code requirements independently; a schedule designation alone is not a complete design qualification.
- Verify that fittings, flanges, valves, and other components use compatible dimensional and material specifications.
The downloadable DWG can support drafting workflows, but the drawing should be checked against the authoritative dimensional data and the requirements of the project before fabrication or release.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Schedule 5S mean?
Schedule 5S identifies a light-wall stainless steel pipe schedule associated with stainless steel dimensional references. It describes a dimensional configuration, not a complete pressure or service approval.
Are NPS 8 and DN200 the same pipe size designation?
They are the inch-based and metric nominal designations used for this pipe size. The actual outside diameter should be checked from the applicable dimensional reference rather than inferred from the nominal designation alone.
Why are both outside diameter and inside diameter listed?
The outside diameter is important for layout and component compatibility. The inside diameter indicates the available internal passage and is affected by the pipe wall thickness.
What does the weight including water value represent?
It is the listed pipe weight combined with the water contained inside the pipe. Field or operating loads may also include contents other than water and attached components.
Can this dimensional data be used to select a pressure-rated piping system?
No. Dimensional data supports identification and coordination, but pressure design also requires review of material, temperature, corrosion, joining, applicable code, and project service conditions.
