| Schedule | Schedule 5 |
| Standard | ASME B36.10M (welded and seamless wrought steel pipe) |
| Outside diameter | 1.315" · 33.40 mm |
| Wall thickness | 0.065" · 1.65 mm |
| Inside diameter | 1.185" · 30.10 mm |
| Weight, plain end | 0.87 lb/ft · 1.29 kg/m |
Cross-check: the standard plain-end weight formula W = 10.6802 x t x (OD - t) gives 0.87 lb/ft here, 0.3% from the published 0.87 lb/ft. The published figure is the one printed above.
Nominal Pipe Size is a label, not a measurement. NPS 1 pipe has an outside diameter of 1.315 inches, and it keeps that outside diameter in every schedule made. What the schedule number changes is the wall: at schedule 5 the wall is 0.065 inches, so the bore comes out at 1.185 inches.
That is the practical consequence. Fittings, flanges, supports and threading dies are sized to the outside diameter, so they fit any schedule of the same trade size. Flow, pressure drop and anything that has to pass through the pipe depend on the inside diameter, which changes with every schedule. Order by trade size and schedule; work your hydraulics from the bore.
Same outside diameter of 1.315 inches throughout - only the wall and the bore move.

0.065 inches (1.65 mm). The outside diameter is 1.315 inches (33.40 mm) whatever the schedule, so this wall leaves an inside diameter of 1.185 inches.
1.185 inches (30.10 mm). Inside diameter is outside diameter minus twice the wall: 1.315 - 2 x 0.065 = 1.185 inches.
No. NPS 1 is a trade size, not a measurement. The pipe measures 1.315 inches across the outside and 1.185 inches across the bore in this schedule. Only the outside diameter is fixed across schedules.
0.87 pounds per foot plain end (1.29 kg per metre), for carbon steel. Stainless of the same dimensions runs a little lighter, and the figure excludes coatings, linings and fittings.
This table runs from NPS 1/8 to NPS 24 and stops there. ASME B36.10M itself continues to NPS 80; those larger sizes are not carried here, so a size above NPS 24 is missing rather than undefined.
