Pipe series standard

The American pipe series (ANSI B36.10 and ANSIB36.19) is a typical "large outer diameter series" with a nominal size range of DN6 to DN2000mm. There are two ways to indicate its wall thickness.

One is to use the pipe number "SCH" to indicate the wall thickness.

①The ANSI B36.10 standard includes ten grades: SCH10, SCH20, SCH30, SCH40, SCH60, SCH80, SCH100, SCH120, SCH140, and SCH160.

②The ANSI B36.19 standard includes four grades: SCH5s, SCH10s, SCH40s, and SCH80s.

The second method is to use the weight of the pipe to indicate the wall thickness of the pipe. It divides the wall thickness of the pipe into three types:

Standard weight pipe, indicated by STD;

Thickened pipe, indicated by XS;

Extra thick pipe, indicated by XXS.

    Why are dimensions and wall thickness so important when purchasing carbon steel pipe fittings?

    In piping engineering, although carbon steel pipe fittings are small in size, they directly impact the connectivity, pressure-bearing capacity, and operational stability of the piping system. When purchasing, buyers should not focus solely on price; dimensional accuracy and wall thickness control are equally critical indicators.

    Working Principle of Carbon Steel Flanges

    Cast flanges feature rough external shapes but precise dimensions, require minimal machining, and offer low costs; however, they are prone to casting defects (such as porosity) and cracks (often due to inclusions), and their internal structure is suboptimal (resulting in poor grain flow characteristics after cutting).
