CH 11(1 of 6), Pipe Data Basics: Nominal Size, Wall Thickness & ASME Standards

Learn the fundamentals of pipe data and how to navigate piping specification tables for engineering design. This video explains the relationship between nominal pipe size, wall thickness (t), and inside diameter (d) to ensure leak-free joints. We cover critical industry standards including ASME B1.20.1, B36.10M, and B36.19M. You will also learn how to distinguish between carbon steel and stainless steel (S-schedules) and how these factors affect pipe weight and flow area. Key topics include: Thread engagement length and makeup Understanding Schedule (STD, XS, XXS) Calculating metal cross-sectional area Difference between carbon and stainless steel piping Part 1/6.
