Deskely Completions team Singapore
A 48 inch pipe, NPS 48 or DN 1200, has an outside diameter of 1219 mm (48.000 inches) in every schedule. From NPS 14 up the outside diameter in inches equals the nominal size. The schedule sets the wall thickness, and with it the inside diameter and the weight.
The table gives every schedule listed for NPS 48 in ASME B36.10M and B36.19M, in mm and inches.
- Outside diameter: 1219 mm (48.000 in), the same for every schedule.
- STD: 9.53 mm wall, 1199.9 mm inside diameter.
- XS: 12.70 mm wall, 1193.6 mm inside diameter.
