Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Pipe
What is Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Pipe?
Schedule 10 stainless steel pipes are ideal for applications requiring moderate pressure but where minimizing weight is a priority. These pipes are typically manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel. Both materials are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, with 316 stainless steel offering enhanced protection against saline or acidic environments due to its added molybdenum content.
At Alcobra Metals, our Schedule 10 stainless steel pipes meet ASTM A312 seamless pipe standards, ensuring high quality and reliability for your project needs.
Benefits and Applications of 304 & 316 Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Pipes
The thin walls of Schedule 10 pipes make them highly flexible and can be bent into custom angles without additional pipe fittings or accessories, reducing overall installation costs. Often referred to as Class 150 or Standard Weight Pipes, these are widely used in low-pressure applications such as supply lines, irrigation systems, and drainage.
304 stainless steel Schedule 10 pipes are highly versatile and commonly found in construction, plumbing, and production equipment where corrosion resistance is essential. For harsher environments, 316 stainless steel performs better, resisting chemicals like acetic, sulfuric, and sulfurous acids and performing exceptionally well in chloride-rich environments.
316 stainless steel pipes are ideal for demanding industries with high-temperature and chemical-heavy applications, including laboratory equipment, chemical containers, heat exchangers, and mining screens. Whether you need durable piping for industrial chemicals or marine environments, 304 and 316 Schedule 10 stainless steel pipes provide long-lasting solutions.
Available Sizes and Dimensions for Schedule 10 Stainless Steel Pipes
A pipe schedule determines the pressure the pipe can withstand. Regardless of the pipe’s OD size, the schedule is determined by the wall thickness and ID.
A 2-inch Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe features an outside diameter (OD) of 2.375 inches, a wall thickness of 0.109 inches, and an inner diameter (ID) of 2.157 inches. This combination provides excellent durability and is ideal for medium to high-pressure applications that require reliable strength without excessive weight.
On the other hand, a 2-inch Schedule 40 pipe also has a 2.375-inch OD, but with a thicker 0.154-inch wall thickness, resulting in a slightly narrower ID of 2.067 inches. This extra thickness enhances its pressure-handling capabilities, making it suitable for more demanding environments.
In terms of weight, the 2-inch Schedule 10 pipe weighs 2.64 lb/ft, while the 2-inch Schedule 40 pipe is heavier at 3.65 lb/ft. Both options offer specific advantages based on project needs, with Schedule 40 pipes offering greater strength, and Schedule 10 providing flexibility and cost efficiency for low-pressure applications.
At Alcobra Metals, we offer Schedule 10 stainless steel pipes in a wide range of standard sizes, from smaller diameters like 2 inches to larger options such as 4 inches.
Whether you need small quantities or bulk orders, our stainless steel pipes are available for online purchase by length, ensuring flexibility and convenience. In addition, we supply related components like pipe fittings, pipe nipples, and flanges to help you complete your project with ease.
