AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR WELDED AND
SEAMLESS WROUGHT STEEL PIPE (ANSI 836.10.. 1979)1
FOREWORD
In March, 1927, the American Standards Association authorized the organization of a Sectional Commit
tee on Standardization of Dimensions aizd Material of Wrought Steel and Wrought Iron Pipe and Tubing, for
the purpose of unifying the standards of these commodities in force in this country. The American Society
for Testing and Materials and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers were designated as sponsors
and the first meeting of the sectional committee was held in Pittsburgh, Pa., on May 18,1928.
The dimensions of commercial pipe, in general use in the United States at the time, conformed rather
generally to, those recommended by the ASME Committee on Standard Pipe and Pipe Threads, published in
1886 (ASME Trans., vol. VIII, page 29). On these standards an enormous industry has been built and the
satisfactory use of this product proves the soundness of the original design and specification.
Increa:singly severe service demands at the time of the committee's organization, had been met by using
the nearest available pipe or tubing for heavier secfions, such as casing, mechanical tubing, etc., with result
ing uneconomical multiplicity of wall thicknesses.
Subsequently; the committee, with the cooperation of the industry, made a survey of existing practice as
the logical statting point for the development of an American Standard.
From this survey, a Table was designed to provide a selection of wall thicknesses of pipe to cover the
power piping requirements of industry where strength to resist internal pressure governs selection and was
later expanded to include pipe diameters and thicknesses used in other industries.
The original intent of the Committe.e was to establish a system of Schedule Numbers for pipe size/wall
combinations which would have an approximately uniform relationship equal to 1000 times the PIS expres
sion contained in the modified Barlow formula for pipe wall thickness as defined in the Appendix to this
standard. The resulting Numbers departed so far from existing wall tllicknesses in common use that the
original intent could not be accOlilplished. The Scheoule Numbers were th'E:n adopted strictly as a convenient
designation system for use in ordering.
In all cases, the designer must base his selection on the rules and allowable stresses set by the code which
goverIls his particular construction. The table is dimensionally complete for all sizes and wall thicknesses
within its scope, but some of the larger, heavier wall sections are beyond the capability of seamless mill
production and must be obtained from forged and bored billets or other sources.
The first issue, of this Standard was approved by letter ballot of the Sectional Committee in October
1934; by The American Society of Mechanic,al Engineers in November 1934, and by the AmericaIi Society
for Testing and Materials in February 1935. Formal approval was given with the designation American Stan
dard' "tentative," by the American Standards Association, November 1935.
Subsequent slight revisions to Table 1 and the footl\otes of the dimensional tables were approved in order
by the Sectional Committee, the Sponsors, and the Am~rican Standards Association, The latter changed the
designation to American Standard; date of approval April 28, 1939.
Further revisions have been made by the Sectional Committee and approved by the Sponsors and the
American Standards Association. The list of specifications in Table I has been revised where necessary and
slight revisions in wall thicknesses of some of the large sizes of the heavy schedules have been made where
PIS values were out of line.
It was the hope in 1939 that the designations of pipe used commercially by all industry as standard
weight, extra strong, and double extra strong would gradually be replaced by Schedule Number designation.
However, owing to customs of over fifty years' standing, demand and production of pipe to these traditional
dimensions is undiminished. Consequently. in response to a demand from users, accepted practice for
dimensions and weights of commercial wrougllt steel and welded wrought iron pipe, were added.
These changes in the Standard were approved by the Sectional Committee, the Sponsors, and the Amer
ican Standards Association, and it was designated an American Standard on February 23. 1950.

Subcommittee No.1 was reorganized in 1957 to revise and bring the Standard up to date. In addition to
the necessary editorial.changes, a simplified format was selected for the tables of weights and dimensions so
as to include and to identify the sizes and weights of API Standards 5L and 5 LX. The decimal wall thick-
nesses and plain end weights were established by a uniform procedure recognized by the tubular industry,
and for some sizes the decimal wall thicknesses and plain end weights shown may vary slightly from those
shown in the tables of previous issues of this Standard.
These changes were approved by the Sectional Committee, the Sponsors, and the American Standards
Association, and it was designated an American Standard on December 21,1959.
This Standard was revised in 1969 to bring it up to date. A uniform method to calculate the plain end
weight of steel pipe was included, and minor adjustments were made in the tabulated weights of steel pipe
in Table 2 to conform to this new method. Additional sizes and thicknesses of steel pipe which have come
into common use were also added to Table 2.
Inasmuch as API Standard 5L no longer included wrought iron pipe, reference to this API Standard was
deleted from Table 3.
These changes in the Standard were approved by the Standards Committee, the Sponsors, and the Amer-
ican National Standards Institute, and it was designated an American National Standard on February 3,
1970.
Further revisions were made .(0 this Standard in 1975. Additional sizes and thickness of steel pipe which
had been added to API Specifications were added to Table 2. Table 3, Dimensions and Weights of Welded
Wrought Iron Pipe was deleted in its entirety, since wrought iron pipe is no longer produced.
These changes in the Standard were approved by the Standards Committee, the Secretariat, and the
American National Standards Institute, and it was designated an American National Standard on June 5,
1975. ..
This Standard was revised in 1978 to include SI metric dimensions. The outside diameter and wall thick-
nesses were converted to mm by multiplying the inch dimensions by 25.4. Outside diameters larger than
16" were rounded to' the nearest mm, and outside diameter 16" and smaller were rounded to the nearest
0.1 mm. Wall thicknesses were rounded to the nearest 0.01 mm. These converted and rounded SI metric
dimensions were adde.d to Table 2.' A formula to calculate the SI metric plain end mass', kg/m, using SI
metric diameters and thicknesses was adde.d to SectionS. TheSI metric plain end mass was calculated for
each size and thickness, and was added to Table 2.
These changes in the Standard were approved by the Standards Committee. the Secretariat, and the
American National Standards Institute, and it was designed an American National Standard on July 18,1979
