In March 1927, the American Standards Association authorized the organization of a Sectional Committee on Standardization of Dimensions and Material of Wrought Steet and Wrought Iron Pipe and Tubing for the purpose of unifying the standards of these commodities in force in this country. The American Society for Testing and Materials and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers were designated as sponsors, and the first meeting of the Sectional Committee was held in Pitsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 18, 1928. ‘The dimensions of commercial pipe in general use in the United States at the time conformed rather generally to those recommended by the ASME Committee on Standard Pipe and Pipe Threads published in 1886 (ASME Transactions, Vol. VIII, p. 29). On these standards an enormous industry has been built and the satisfactory use of this product proves the soundness of the original design and specification, Increasingly severe service demands at the time of the Committee's organization had been met by using the nearest available pipe or tubing for heavier sections such as casing, ‘mechanical tubing, etc., with resulting uneconomical multiplicity of wall thicknesses. Subsequently, the Committee, with the cooperation of the industry, made a survey of existing practice as the logical starting point for the development of an American Standard, From this survey, a table was designed to provide a selection of wall thicknesses of pipe to cover the power piping requirements of industry where strength to resist internal pressure governs selection and was later expanded to include pipe diameters and thicknesses used in other industries. ‘The original intent of the Committee was to establish a system of Schedule Numbers for pipe size/wall thickness combinations which would have an approximately uniform relationship equal to 1000 times the P/S expression contained in the modified Barlow formula for pipe wall thickness as defined in the Appendix to this standard. The resulting Numbers departed so far from existing wall thicknesses in common use that the original intent could not be accomplished. The Schedule Numbers were then adopted strictly as a convenient designation system for use in ordering. In all cases, the designer must base his selection on the rules and allowable stresses set by the code which governs his particular construction. The table is dimensionally complete for all sizes and wall thicknesses within its scope, but some of the larger, heavier wall sections are beyond the capability of seamless mill production and must be obtained from forged and bored billets oF other sources. ‘The first issue of this standard was approved by letter ballot of the Sectional Committee in October 1934, by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers in November 1934, and by the American Society for Testing and Materials in February 1935. Formal approval was given with the designation American Standard “tentative” by the American Standards Association in November 1935. Subsequent slight revisions to Table 1 and the footnotes of the dimensional tables were approved and the ASA changed the designation to American Standard; the date of ASA approval was April 28, 1939,STD-ASME B3b-LOM-ENGL 1996 Ml 0759670 0579229 921 mw Further revisions were made by the Sectional Committee. The list of specifications in Table 1 was revised where necessary and slight revisions in wall thicknesses of some of the large sizes of the heavy schedules were made where P/S values were out of line. ‘It was the hope in 1939 that the designation of pipe used commercially by all industry as Standard weight, Extra-Strong, and Double Extra-Strong would gradually be replaced by ‘Schedule Number designation. However, owing to customs of over 50 years’ standing, «demand and production of pipe to these traditional dimensions is undiminished. Consequently, in response to a demand from users, accepted practice for dimensions and weights of commercial wrought steel and welded wrought iron pipe were added. These changes in the standard were approved and it was designated an American Standard on February 23, 1950. ‘Subcommittee No. 1 was reorganized in 1957. In addition to necessary editorial changes, simplified format was selected for the tables of weights and dimensions so as to include and identify the sizes and weights of API Standards SL and SLX. The decimal wall thicknesses and plain end weights were established by a uniform procedure recognized by the tubular industry, and for some sizes the decimal wall thicknesses and plain end weights shown may have varied slightly from those shown in the tables of previous issues of this standard. These changes to the standard were approved and it was designated an American Standard on December 21, 1959. The standard was revised in 1969. A uniform method to calculate the plain end weight of steel pipe was included, and minor adjustments were made in the tabulated weights. of steel pipe in Table 2 to conform to this new method. Additional sizes and thicknesses of steel pipe that had come into common use were also added to Table 2. Inasmuch as API Standard SL no longer included wrought iron pipe, reference to this API Standard was deleted from Table 3. These changes to the standard were approved and it was designated an American National Standard on February 3, 1970, Further revisions were made to the standard in 1975, Additional sizes and thicknesses of steel pipe that had been added to API specifications were added to Table 2. Table 3, Dimensions and Weights of Welded Wrought Iron Pipe, was deleted in its entirety, since ‘wrought iron pipe is no longer produced. These changes in the standard were approved and it was designated an American National Standard on June 5, 1975. ‘The standard was revised in 1978 to include SI metric dimensions, The outside diameter and wall thicknesses were converted to millimeters by multiplying the inch dimensions by 25.4, Outside diameters larger than 16 in. were rounded to the nearest millimeter, and outside diameters 16 in. and smaller were rounded to the nearest 0.1. mm. Wall thicknesses were rounded to the nearest 0.01 mm. These converted and rounded SI metric dimensions were added to Table 2. A formula to calculate the SI metric plain end mass, in kilograms per meter, using SI metric diameters and thicknesses was added to section 5. The SI mettic plain end mass was calculated for each size and thickness, and was added 0 Table 2. ‘These changes in the standard were approved and it was designated an American National Standard on July 18, 1979. Further revisions were made in 1984. The ANSI designations, which are no longer in use, were deleted from Table 1, and the list of specifications was revised to agree with current ASTM and API specifications. Additional sizes and thicknesses which had been added to API specifications were added to Table 2, That edition was approved as an ‘American National Standard on August 19, 1985. ‘The next edition included additional wall thicknesses and was approved by the American National Standards Institute on August 24, 1995. ‘The current edition contains revisions to Table 2, adding pipe sizes, changing some plain fend weights and masses, identifying metric pipe by the dimensionless designator DN, and climinating the API Specification column. This edition was approved as an American National Standard on September 23, 1996.STD-ASME B3b-2OM-ENGL 1996 MM 0759670 0579230 633 a ASME STANDARDS COMMITTEE B32 Metal and Metal Alloy Wrought Mill Product Nominal Sizes {The following is the roster of the Committee atthe time of approval of this Standard.)

Pipe dimensions of sizes 12 in, and smaller have outside diameters numerically larger than corresponding sizes. In contrast, the outside diameters of tubes are numerically identical (o the size number for all sizes 2 SIZE The size of all pipe is identified by the nominal pipe size. ‘The manufacture of pipe NPS Y% to NPS 12 inclusive is based on a standardized outside diameter (OD). This (OD was originally selected so that pipe with a standard OD and having wall thickness which was typical of the period would have an inside diameter (ID) approximately equal to the nominal size. Although there is no such relation between the existing standard thickness — OD and nominal size — these nominal sizes and standard ODs continue in use as “standard."” ‘The manufacture of pipe NPS 14 and larger proceeds fon the basis of an OD corresponding to the nominal size. 3 MATERIALS ‘The dimensional standards for pipe described here are for products covered in the ASTM and API specifi- cations listed in Table 1, 4 WALL THICKNESS ‘The nominal wall thicknesses are given in Table 2. 5 WEIGHTS ‘The nominal weights of steel pipe are caleulated values and are tabulated in Table 2. ‘The nominal plain end weight, in pounds per foot, jis calculated using the following formula: 06D ~ oy where = nominal plain end weight rounded to the nearest 0.01 Ib/ft D = outside diameter to the nearest 0.001 in, (the symbol D is to be used for OD only in mathematical equations or formulas) 1 = specified wall thickness rounded to the near- est 0,001 in, ‘The nominal plain end mass, in kilograms per meter, is calculated using the following formula: Woe = 102466150 = 292 We = nominal plain end weight rounded to the nearest 0.01 kg/m. D = outside diameter to the nearest 0.1 mm for outside diameters which are 16 in. and smaller and (0 the nearest 1.0 mm for outside diameters larger than 16 in, (the symbol D is to be used for OD only in mathematical ‘equations or formulas) 1 = specified wall thickness rounded to the near- est 0.01 mm 6 PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS.

As explained in the Foreword, the Schedule Numbers were subsequently added as a convenient designation for use in ordering pipe, Standard and Schedule 40 are identical for up to NPS 10 inclusive. All larger sizes of Standard have % in. wall thicknesses. Extra-Strong and Schedule 80 are identical for up to NPS 8 inclusive, All larger sizes ‘of Extra-Strong have 4 in. wall thicknesses. Pipe of sizes and wall thicknesses other than those of Standard, Exira-Strong, and Double Extra-Strong, and Schedule Number were adopted from API Speci WELDED AND SEAMLESS WROUGHT STEEL PIPE cation SL. It was not considered practical to establish Schedule Numbers or new designations for them. 9 WALL THICKNESS SELECTION ‘When the selection of wall thickness depends primar- ily upon capacity to resist internal pressure under given conditions, the designer shall compute the exact value of wall thickness suitable for conditions for which the pipe is required, as prescribed in detail in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping, or other similar codes, whichever ‘governs the construction, A thickness shall be selected from Table 2 to suit the value computed to fulfil the conditions for which the pipe is desired.STD-ASME B3b-LOM-ENGL 1956 MM 0759670 0579234 289 me WELDED AND SEAMLESS WROUGHT STEEL PIPE [ASME 836,10¥-1996 TABLE 1 APPLICABLE PIPE SPECIFICATIONS. ‘ASTM oF APL Designation Title ASTM ASS Black and Hot Dipped, Zine-Coat fed and Seamless Steel Pipe ASTM A 108 ‘Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service ASTM A 120 Black and Hot Dipped Zine-Coated (Galvanized) Welded and Seamless Stee!
