This reference brings together the key dimensional information for 24 inch Schedule 60 pipe, also identified as NPS 24 and DN600. Use the table and data summary below when checking piping layouts, material takeoffs, fabrication drawings, support requirements, or preliminary procurement information.
For related terminology, compare this page with the site’s pipe schedule reference, pipe dimensions guide, and resources for pipe fittings and pipe flanges. Those references can help confirm how the pipe dimensions interface with connected components.
Schedule 60 Pipe 24 Inch (DN600 mm) is a carbon steel pipe size commonly used in heavy-duty piping systems where higher wall thickness and stronger mechanical performance are required. This pipe size is typically referenced under ANSI/ASME B36.10, which is the standard used for wrought steel pipe dimensions.
For this size, the pipe has an outside diameter (OD) of 610 mm, an inside diameter (ID) of 560.78 mm, and a wall thickness of 24.61 mm. The listed pipe weight is 355.28 kg/m, while the weight including water is 602.14 kg/m.
Schedule 60 Pipe 24 Inch (DN600 mm) Dimension Table
| Pipe Size | NPS | DN | Outside Diameter (OD) | Inside Diameter (ID) | Wall Thickness | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schedule 60 Pipe | 24 Inch | DN600 | 610 mm | 560.78 mm | 24.61 mm | 355.28 kg/m |
What Is Schedule 60 Pipe?
Schedule 60 pipe is a heavier wall steel pipe schedule used when a thicker pipe wall is needed compared with lighter schedules such as Schedule 40. In general, a thicker wall can provide improved strength, durability, and pressure-handling capability, depending on material grade, design temperature, and service conditions.
Pipe schedule selection should always be checked against project requirements such as design pressure, temperature, corrosion allowance, piping code, and fabrication method before final use.

Common Uses of 24 Inch Schedule 60 Pipe
24 inch Schedule 60 steel pipe may be used in applications where a large internal flow path and thicker wall construction are needed. Typical uses may include:
- Industrial process piping systems
- Water transmission and utility piping
- Oil and gas piping applications
- Power plant and heavy-duty piping systems
- Projects requiring higher wall thickness than lighter schedules
Why DN600 Pipe Dimensions Matter
Many users search for DN600 pipe dimensions to verify pipe routing, structural support loads, transportation limits, fabrication details, and compatibility with fittings or connected equipment. For a 24 inch pipe, accurate dimensional data is especially important because weight, lifting, and installation requirements can increase significantly.
Knowing the correct 24 inch Schedule 60 pipe dimensions also helps engineers, detailers, estimators, buyers, and students compare this pipe size with other schedules when reviewing wall thickness, internal flow area, and total pipe weight.
NPS 24 and DN600 Explained
NPS stands for Nominal Pipe Size in inches, while DN stands for Diameter Nominal in metric designation. For this pipe size:
- NPS 24 = inch-based nominal pipe size
- DN600 = 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 610 mm.

This page provides a quick dimensional reference for engineers, piping designers, students, fabricators, and procurement teams looking for Schedule 60 Pipe 24 Inch (DN600 mm) data in a clear format.
Reference Standard: ANSI/ASME B36.10 steel pipe dimensions.
How to Use This Schedule 60 Pipe Reference
The dimensional table is most useful when several project decisions depend on the same pipe geometry. The outside diameter supports layout coordination and connection checks, while the inside diameter helps describe the available flow passage. The wall thickness distinguishes this schedule from lighter-wall alternatives and may also affect fabrication, handling, and support coordination.
Use the listed pipe weight when reviewing material quantities, lifting plans, transportation, and support loads. The separate water-filled weight should not be treated as the bare-pipe weight; it represents a different loading condition for systems containing water. Actual project loads may also include insulation, coatings, contents, valves, fittings, and temporary or operating conditions.
Checks Before Using the Dimensions for Design
- Confirm that the project specification calls for the applicable steel pipe dimensional standard.
- Check material grade, manufacturing requirements, corrosion allowance, design temperature, and design pressure separately from the schedule designation.
- Coordinate the pipe OD and wall thickness with fittings, flanges, valves, branch connections, supports, and connected equipment.
- Use the applicable piping, structural, fabrication, and installation requirements for final engineering decisions.
- For drafting workflows, compare the dimensional data with the project’s approved CAD or DWG standards before detailing.
The schedule designation is a dimensional reference; it is not, by itself, a complete pressure-rating or material specification. Final selection requires project-specific engineering review. For drawing coordination, see the site’s CAD and DWG reference resources, and for connection details, review the relevant fittings and flange references.
Terminology for Piping Teams
NPS is the inch-based nominal designation, while DN is the metric nominal designation. Neither label should be used as a substitute for checking the actual dimensional values shown in the reference table. Keeping nominal designations, actual outside diameter, inside diameter, and wall thickness distinct helps reduce errors in specifications, drawings, and purchase descriptions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the designations for this pipe?
This pipe is identified as Schedule 60 Pipe 24 Inch, NPS 24, and DN600. These are nominal designations used to identify the pipe size and schedule.
What is the outside diameter of 24 inch Schedule 60 pipe?
The source data lists an outside diameter of 610 mm. Confirm the dimensional table before coordinating openings, supports, fittings, or connected equipment.
Does Schedule 60 alone establish the pipe pressure rating?
No. Pressure capability depends on factors such as material grade, design temperature, corrosion allowance, manufacturing requirements, and the governing piping code. The schedule should therefore be reviewed as part of the complete project specification.
Why are both pipe weight and weight including water listed?
They describe different loading conditions. Pipe weight refers to the listed pipe mass per unit length, while weight including water accounts for the pipe containing water. Other project loads may need separate evaluation.
Can this page replace a project piping specification?
No. This page is a dimensional reference. Project documents should control material, joining, testing, corrosion protection, design conditions, fabrication, and installation requirements.
Where can I find a drawing resource for this pipe?
The page includes a DWG download for this pipe size and schedule. Before using it for production documentation, verify the file against the approved project standards and the dimensional information shown on this page.
